Awesome! Feb 11, 2009 By Jodi Pizzo
I love this product! It works especially well since I home educate. You just type in your list words for the week and the program designs the games and tests around the words YOU choose. My 2nd grader loves it and thinks spelling is much more fun now. I would definitely recommend this product.

Love it! Dec 02, 2008 By PTO Mom "pto mom"
I bought this for my second grader. It will fit with anyone's spelling book. They have thousands of words that you choose from to make your weekly list and then it makes spelling games from those words. If they do not have the word you can request it and they send it to you. The graphics are great and it will last us until she is in the fifth grade. Great deal!

Great to Create Spelling Lists for Review Sep 25, 2009 By P Jones Harris "FlMommy"
I like that you can create multiple lists. I have one with sight words for my little one and another with more difficult words for my advanced 1st grader. If your child is not a fluent reader, they will not be able to use most of the mini-games, since the word clues are generally given by showing the word definition. My 1st grader can do this with no problem. My preschooler uses only one section of this program. For her, I choose the mini-game where she sees a scrambled sight word and hears the word spoken by the computer. She then has to click and drag the letters into the correct order to spell the word. This is helping her with recognition of her sight words and her ability to spell them properly.

I know that some people did not like the fact that you have to enter the words yourself, but it did not bother me. It goes quickly and you can add your own words and definitions. For instance, my daughter has to write reading reports including the genre of the book chosen. "Genre" was not on the list. I was able to download an upgrade and enter it myself. I can also edit definitions of words on their list. For example, for "fairy," I added the name, Tinkerbell as part of the word clue. I also edited the definitions of the days of the week. They identify Sunday correctly as the first day of the week. My daughter, however memorized the days of the week starting with Monday. I was able to edit the definitions so that she was able to identify the clue with the correct word. I also like that in order to them to get the word correct on the spelling test, they have to capitalize proper nouns and cannot capitalize words that are not proper nouns.

I really like the flexibility of this program. It's worth the time spent to enter the words. There are lots of spelling lists that you can find online if you can't figure out where to start or if your school does not provide one. Also, I read another review that said they had to leave the CD-ROM in the drive to use this program. I'm not sure why, but I don't have to do that. Mine installed the program, then I installed an upgrade from their website, and it runs without the disc in the computer. I use a MAC, so I don't know if that has anything to do with it or not. Oh yes, that's another good feature; this product works on both PC and MAC computers.

Great for Homeschooling! Jan 16, 2009 By Mel Bissoon
I think this is a great tool for homeschooling. Just type in your spelling words and the program gives you games so you can learn the spelling words and the definitions for all the words. It also has a very convenient spelling test. The program says the words aloud and the child types it in. It's great! My daughter, who is 9 and in 4th grade, loves the Spelling Accelerator. She is using it right now and said, "mom...this is so cool."

This product needs half star Apr 27, 2010 By Winsome One "Winny"
I am soooooo sorry i bought this product. I have to agree with the writer who says the definitions are way too advanced for most kids and will require a massive amount of assistance from parents. Definitely NOT kid or parent friendly. The words utilised are all created by you, which forces you to ask...what's the point of this program?

Please save your money and purchase another program. I am holding out hope that there are better ones out there somewhere.
