STARSPELL 3.0

Easy to use and popular with pupils, Starspell simply corrects any mistake and the pupil tries again. Starspell has a comprehensive and progressive approach to spelling. Every word is spoken, and has a sentence in context. Adding your own lists is easy. Specially designed games and worksheets reinforce learning. For Windows XP up to Windows 7.

Look at the ScreenShots, Features of Starspell and the Word-Lists we use. The new phonics section is especially useful for whole class use in with the interactive whiteboard, but also for early spellers following a structured program of phonics development, such as the English "Sounds & Letters programme. Don't simply take our word: look at independent

Do you struggle with the word ‘millennium’? If so, StarSpell is the program for you. Select ‘millennium’ from Starspell’s comprehensive list of words and you will be given a list that also contains ‘millimetre’ to practise on. Each word is presented – for a fixed period of time – in large type in the centre of the screen and in a sentence at the bottom of the screen.

It is also spoken aloud. When the target word disappears, the pupil attempts to type it in correctly. If he succeeds, he gets suitable praise for having done so. If he types it in incorrectly, the word is rebuilt on screen so that he can try again. There is a target time for completing each list. At the end a record sheet appears which contains the word list the pupil has been working through. The words that the pupil has spelt correctly first time are starred and the time taken to complete the exercise is given.
