Product Review/Giveaway SpellQuizzer!

I was recently given the opportunity to review a wonderful program called SpellQuizzer.  I would like to thank Dan Hite of Tedco Software for selecting me to do a product review of SpellQuizzer.   My family and I have spent the last few days trying out this program.  I must say I was very impressed! 

So what is SpellQuizzer?  It is a program to help you and your child take the frustration out of learning their spelling lists for school.  It wasn’t designed for any certain curriculum and allows you to customize your own spelling lists.  You can import spelling list or export list for others to use. And you know what the best thing is? It is so SIMPLE to use!   I was surprised at how quickly it downloaded and was ready to go.  

So exactly how does it work?  Each week you enter your spelling list and then make an audio recording of each word.   The program then quizzes your child. It plays each word back and checks the spelling as they type the word.  It corrects them when they misspell a word and re-quizzes them after they’ve completed the list the first time.  It only takes 5 to 10 minutes a day!  No more frustration for you or your child!  I think the best way to explain it is to see it!  Click here to see a video demonstration of SpellQuizzer.

Here are a few more details that I found very helpful with this program:

1.  It wasn’t designed for just public school students but also has a page dedicated to homeschoolers.  Go Here!

2.  It has a built in spellchecker that recognizes both US and UK English spellings. It warns the user when creating a spelling list if they enter a word that appears to be misspelled.  This safeguard makes it easier for children to make their own spelling lists! 

3.  They also have a community forum site now! Go Here!

4.  They are constantly adding new spelling lists to the site that you can download free! (Spelling Lists) These include pre-made sound recordings.

5.   You do need a microphone to do the recordings. Most computers usually come with this but if not they are very inexpensive (usually under $10).   Because Microphone Boost in some Windows installations isn’t turned  on by default, the site shows you how to turn it on!  Click here for details!

Overall I thought this program was very easy to navigate and use.  I know we’ll be using it a lot at my house!  Want to try it yourself?  Head on over to SpellQuizzer and try their 30 day free trial .  If you decided to buy it, you have no worries because it comes with a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee!
