Spelling 1-2 Software – Your child will have the opportunity to spell more than 2,000 first and second grade level words. A built-in tutor adjusts the level of difficulty to support increasing spelling proficiency. This Spelling 1-2 software also allows personal spelling word lists to be added, and then those words appear in each of the spelling games. In the Sunken Ship’s Galley Game, a skeleton chef cooks up soup and fun, as kids see words, hear them, then type them. Young spellers can also try the Coral Reef word puzzle game. Put the letters in the right order to spell the word correctly. The fish band will play a happy tune if your child can unscramble every word. In Neptune’s Cave, misspelled words are mixed in with the correct spellings, and players must choose the correctly spelled word. In all three games, right answers result in releasing trapped fish and winning “lagoon prizes” that enable users to create a special underwater world.
