SpellQuizzer Giveaway and Review

When Dan from SpellQuizzer contacted me to find out if I’d like to do a giveaway of SpellQuizzer on my blog, I jumped at the chance. SpellQuizzer is a computer based spelling program that helps kids learn their spelling and vocabulary words. Parents and/or teachers can download one of the pre-made spelling lists, or they can input their own custom spelling lists.

I had wanted Munchkin to try out this program as she enjoys computer based games and programs. Generally, she does not like spelling. Part of her problem is that she’s a perfectionist and gets frustrated when she can’t get the words right. With SpellQuizzer, she is able to keep going until she gets all of the words correct. This totally works for her.

Setting up the Munchkin’s spelling/vocabulary lists is as simple as following these steps:

1. Input Munchkin’s spelling/vocabulary words into the program.
2. Type the definitions into the reminder phrase box.
3. Record myself saying either just the word or the word in a sentence.
4. Save the list once I’ve completed inputting all of the words.

When it comes time for Munchkin to do her spelling/vocabulary practice for the day, she opens up SpellQuizzer on the computer and starts typing in the words. After each word, she clicks on check spelling. The program lets her know if she gets a word right or wrong, and then it moves on to the next word. When she completes the list, she’s able to go back to the misspelled word(s) and try again. By spending less than 10 minutes a day with this program, she is able to learn the words without getting overly frustrated.

SpellQuizzer offers a free 30 day trial of their spelling software. After the trial period, you can purchase the program for $29.95. SpellQuizzer backs their software with a 100% satisfaction guarantee. You can view demos of the program here. SpellQuizzer is compatible with Windows 98/ME/2000/XP/Vista.
