A lady on my homeschool email list sent me the link to this site. It's great! You can type in your own spelling words for the week and then the kids can work independently in one of three areas: Teach Me, Play a Game, or Test Me.
The "Teach Me" section lists the words, spells them for the child and uses the word in a sentence. At the end of the section a child can use the "Test Me" function to see how much they have learned.
In the "Play a Game" section, the child can choose either a Word Search (which can be done online or printed off), Hang Mouse, or Unscramble.
The Hang Mouse is great! A mouse is trying to take cheese from a bowl next to a sleeping cat. Each time you guess a correct letter, the mouse gets a piece of cheese. When you miss a letter the cat begins to wake up - if you don't guess the word the cat catches the mouse by the tail. I had a great time playing with it! I think the girls will enjoy it too!
Have a blessed day!
