I have used VocabularySpellingCity with the students in my
classroom for over six years. In fact, my entire school now has premium
memberships for every teacher. Students take their weekly spelling tests online
after practicing their words by playing the games at home and at school. They
love the iPad app. Each child has his/her own username and password, so he/she
has direct access to the site from any Internet-enabled device. I was so
impressed with the site and how it affected student learning that I shared it
through various social media platforms. I am now compensated to work with
VocabularySpellingCity after school as a social media consultant. Science4Us is a sister site to
VocabularySpellingCity.
