Help your child learn to spell like a champion! It’s possible with this fast and easy-to-load Flash Action SpellDown software. Children play against the computer or challenge another player to a fast-paced spelldown. Like a TV game show, players buzz in when they know the answer. Six different problem types--unscramble the word, fill-in-the-blank, word search, listen-and-spell, guess-the-word, and fix-the-word--make SpellDown challenging and fun. Work from the 1,800 second and third grade words built into the software or load 12 custom words from weekly spelling lists or other sources.

This clever, creative, two-player software motivates kids to succeed, provides self-paced learning, has vivid variety, gives positive reinforcement, and is easy to use. Spelling and reading are closely related, so improvement in one virtually guarantees enhancement of the other. To sample this software, see the video clip below.
