AquaSpelling is not a game, it is an educational tool that your kids can use to learn spelling and build vocabulary in a variety of languages. You can create your spelling list by recording your pronunciation or, better yet, letting your kids do it (sound recording is optional). Save time and give your kids the freedom to practice spelling at their own pace and have a lot of fun playing simple, yet mind challenging, spelling games (games include wordsearch, waterballoon spelling, find and match, and mystery word). You can monitor their progress with the student tracking tools. AquaSpelling can be used to define spelling lists for an unlimited number of students (the same word can be assigned to multiple students at the same time). It is also possible to create an unlimited number of user defined categories. Any number of words can be assigned to a category and a word can be assigned to many categories at the same time. A level of difficulty can be assigned to the words. Students, levels of difficulty and categories can be used to select words during practice or when playing games. AquaSpelling allows you to store the definition of the words to build vocabulary and to record phrases to practice dictation. The use of students, categories, levels of difficulty and word definition is optional and can be turned on or off with ease. The program is available in English and Spanish and offers full support for special characters (like ñ, á, è, etc.). By entering the translation into the word definition field, AquaSpelling can also be used to study vocabulary lists in a foreign language.
AquaSpelling is much more than a game. It is an educational tool that your kids can use to help them study and learn. It requires some effort on your part to create and maintain the spelling list but, once you try, you will see the results are worth your while.
Spelling: Create your own spelling list. Record the sound of the words with your own pronunciation. Improve your spelling skills practicing the list and have fun playing spelling games.
Dictation: Record phrases using words from the spelling list to help your kids practice dictation.
Vocabulary: Type and store the meaning of the words to help the kids improve their vocabulary.
Tracking: Monitor student progress.
Games: Play fun, easy to learn and play, yet mind challenging, spelling games:
Wordsearch puzzles: Solve wordsearch puzzles using words from your spelling list.
WaterBalloon spelling: Spell out the words from your spelling list by popping the balloons that carry the right letter. If you pop the wrong balloon the water is dropped to a water tank. Fill the water tank and you lose.
Match and Find: Improve your spelling, vocabulary and memory skills. Match each word with its definition.
Mystery Word: Discover the word that has been hidden in some way. The rules for this game keep changing so you are always confronted with a new challenge.
Multiple Languages: AquaSpelling does not come with any prerecorded word and it does not have any predefined spelling rule for any language so you can use it to practice spelling in a variety of languages (English, Spanish, German, French, Italian, Portuguese, etc.). You can use any special character supported by Windows (ñ, á, è, etc.). You can very easily create lists of words in different languages by using the freely definable categories. You then select what language you want to practice by choosing the appropriate category. For example, you can use it to learn spelling in English, Spanish and French at the same time. |
