Spelling is a dirty word in many households. There is something about that subject that strikes fear into the hearts of students....and some parents! That is the case in our home, for sure. I used to be a terrible speller and can relate entirely to my children who struggle with it. For this reason, I am constantly looking for new, fun ways to help my kids practice.

Our spelling lists are comprised of their regular spelling course work and the words they misspell in their essays.  After I finish grading their written work, I am usually left "holding" a few words that they have misspelled. I collect them, dust off them off and just like that...SNAP....the chore of doling out the spelling practice is in my hands. Great...not.

The hunt for new ways to practice spelling never ends. I like to mix-up the spelling practice so that there are a few options to choose. This keeps the work fresh and their minds from becoming numb to the process.  The chore for me, however, is finding those new solutions.

Spelling Made Simple has recently become one of those options in our household.  This software program has come to their rescue...and mine. I no longer have to dole out hand-cramping spelling assignments. Now, all I have to do is grade their written work, type the misspelled words into our personal Spelling Made Simple program and voila!, We have a new way to practice their commonly misspelled words....AND I don't have mutiny on my hands.

I like Spelling Made Simple because it is, indeed, simple. It is a straight-to-the-point, no nonsense program that is easy to use, customizes to our family needs and, after fiddling with it for a bit, quickly became part of my brain...for lack of a better term.  I no longer have handwritten lists floating around my desk or spreadsheets to flip through.  The software takes all of that, condenses it and becomes a running log of our homeschool spelling lists and work.  The kids enjoy using the computer to do their spelling practice and I enjoy the fact that their new "fun" spelling practice software doubles as our homeschool list saving/tracking device. 

Another nifty thing about Spelling Made Simple is that they offer software that is compatible with the iPod Touch/iPhone and iPad!Click Here for to learn more about that.
