Background on Record-Keeping: SpellingCity has added automated record-keeping as a new feature. This allows teachers to instantly grade and record the students’ spelling tests giving them a chance to immediately review the words and to take a retest. Traditionally, the grading of papers took a day, tied up a teacher’s evening, and involved lots of hand-grading and recording.  Automated record-keeping of spelling tests puts the results immediately recorded in the teacher’s online gradebook.
The student record-keeping is a new SpellingCity feature introduced in August 2009. The cost for a classroom (30 student licenses) is $49.99. A family (5 licenses) is $29.99 per year. Click for more details on student record-keeping.

    this sounds great. Thanks. I read that they changed the word limit to 50 since people said 30 was just too short.

    SpellingCity Rocks. We use it for all our different subjects. We put up word lists for history, science, geology, literature, and of course, vocabulary. My youngest is now using their dolch word lists
