My Take
This app is best used for practice and reinforcement skills with my students. The only drawback is the repetition of the same words, even after mastery. A wider vocabulary would be more appealing.
How I Use It
I would use this to reinforce spelling/ literacy skills with my low literacy students. The reinforcement offered within the fun graphics and instant feedback is valuable and engaging for students.

DOA This app no longer works. Bought by another company FAIL
When the company was bought up by Learning A-Z they switched the entire program, website, and process overnight. Teachers now have to manually set up all lessons (which our Middle School does not have time to do). Access to games has to be allowed - it is not automatic. There was no warning at all when this was changed. We walked in one Monday and the apps on our ipads did not work. Set up on the new format is confusing (multiple names given to the same program Learning A-Z, kids A-Z, Raz A-Z and so on.
The app is NOT CALLED Spelling City any more. Spelling City is dead. If someone has a great suggestion for a progressive spelling app that will help prepare our students for high school and beyond, I'd love to know it!

We have technology for every student so the use of this program works well during and after school. No paper either!
I love that students can use this program in any class before or after school. It is user friendly can be used for any learner regardless of ability level.

I used to teach VocabularySpellingCity when I taught elementary school and my students loved it! Students found it fun and engaging and I could differentiate, create my own lists in advance, save lessons for the following year, etc!
I like that this teaching tool (when I used it) gave students a chance to practice skills using technology and that it was engaging.
