Main features of Spellcaster

• A comprehensive, phonetic-based computer spelling program, developed in New Zealand. Voices used throughout the program are all our own!
• Presented by Herbs, a friendly, enthusiastic and ever patient kiwi.
• 50 word lists and over 2000 words to master. Each word list relates to a different phonetic rule.
• Every word within each word list has a corresponding word shape outline, and can be heard within the context of a sentence.
• A 'Sound Library' is easily accessed for reference to all phonetic sounds of both the individual letters, and blends of letters within words.
• Progression through Spellcaster requires mastery at each stage before access to the next level is unlocked.
• Spellcaster keeps a running record of individual user progress. This feature is great for self-monitoring, and is also invaluable within the classroom setting, where student achievement can be quickly measured.
• Students restart Spellcaster where they last logged off.
• Any incorrect spelling attempts are stored; they reappear (correctly spelt) in the Card Memory game. They only disappear when the user has correctly spelt them for the next five sessions of logging on to Spellcaster.
• Spellcaster is goal orientated, and provides immediate user feedback.
• New interactive spelling games ensure that learning is both challenging and fun.
• Any number of children can use Spellcaster. This makes it ideal for both home and classroom use.
• Spellcaster is a stand-alone program that requires no extra supervision or teacher input.
