My Spelling Words

Moby ID: 981

If your child is not completely self-directed when it comes to learning their spelling words then they need "My Spelling Words". To prove it, I'll send it to you for free for a 30 day trial. If you're not thrilled with your child's progress then you won't owe us a dime!

"Last year my son's spelling was terrible. He would miss over half the words on his spelling test. After I (got) your program and taught him how to use it, he ... started getting a 100% every week on his spelling tests. I am so happy about it I think every family should have this program in their home." Unsolicited customer comment

If you're looking for a cute game that will self-motivate your child to learn their spelling words, this isn't it. My experience is that programs of that sort involve a lot more playing than learning, and the child usually forgets about them in a week anyway. However, if you can say to your child "no playing until you do your spelling words" then My Spelling Words will teach your child their spelling words, faster and more effectively than anything else on the market.

This is a different sort of project for me. While my other projects were technical challenges, this one is personal. My eldest son was having a hard time learning his spelling words. Each week we were spending hours drilling him, re-drilling him, and re-drilling him again. The whole process was not only time consuming but also very frustrating for all of us - especially for Chris. It was tough. There had to be a better way.

My Spelling Words is the result. It doesn't teach spelling. There are no fuzzy bears or cutesy games. Instead, My Spelling Words effectively drills your child on their spelling words utilizing advanced algorithms you can customize. It took over a year to develop. Not because it was technically difficult to write, but because Chris and I were constantly modifying it's form, function and methods until we were both pleased. The results have been astounding. Chris now spends about 15 minutes a day using the program. My involvement is virtually nil. Since he's started using My Spelling Words he's gotten 100% on most of his tests. And best of all, Chris doesn't dread spelling anymore. I've seen him double his practice time, just because he wants to increase his scores.

My Spelling Words has other features as well. You can review past word lists, grouped by grade level. There are different exercises that kick in automatically to help learn difficult words. There's a parent alarm that lets you know when it's time to get involved. You can also export or import word lists. And there are even features to help adults improve their spelling. I use it myself.

My Spelling Words is only $19.95 plus $2 s/h, but you pay nothing now. Honestly, if I could have bought something like this a year ago, and known in advance the effect it was to have, I would've paid 10 times as much - in a second. But don't take my word for it. Try it without cost or obligation for 30 days. If for any reason you're not thrilled with your child's progress then simply return it (it'll cost you 2 stamps) and you won't owe us a dime. You can't lose. Why not give it a try?

MSW (as we call it) makes it easier to learn your spelling words.
Just enter your spelling words each week, record the words that aren't already recorded, and then let MSW quiz you on them. Although simple in concept it has advanced features to help you learn your words quickly and easily. You can also review past word lists, "Core Development" words, and word list groupings - like 4th grade level words for example.

With MSW you will learn your spelling words better, faster, and with less effort. And it might be more fun too!

To run MSW your computer must be able to record and play sound files.
