Vocabulary Spelling City App

As I was creating emails for my students using an administrator code and password, I made sure to have the Elementary Education App Pack automatically installed for each students' gmail account. This means when the student opens their Chromebook and logs in, these apps are always available to each and every one of them. I have been trying out all the different apps Google Chrome has chosen to include in this App Pack, and my favorite so far is the Vocabulary Spelling City app. This award winning site's mission is,"efficient game-based study of literacy skills". I tried the free portion of this program, but I knew immediately I wanted to purchase the premium membership because of the huge variety of activities the children can participate in. I paid about $50 for a year membership and I feel it has been worth every penny and I have only been using it for two weeks. Because my students have experienced Rebecca Sitton's spelling units thus far, I have chosen to continue using the third grade word lists by inserting them into the list management section on the premium teacher's toolbox. I can give assignments, track student progress, get immediate test results and allow students to progress at their own pace. The kids have loved the games and I love that they are having fun doing word work. I also don't mind that I no longer need to bring paper spelling tests and homework home to grade!
