With more than 35 interactive word games and thousands of pre-made word lists, VocabularySpellingCity helps you build literacy skills in a fun and engaging way!

With these games, students can see, hear, speak, write, break down, and play with words including high frequency words, developmental spelling words, and vocabulary. This helps students strengthen their literacy skills in an effective and long-lasting way.

From phonics practice in elementary school to SAT words in high school, students K-12 will find this app helpful. The interactive and multisensory nature of the activities also benefits ELL, ESL, ESOL, and TOEFL students learning English.

Keeping up, catching up, or getting ahead in vocabulary retention and comprehension can be fun and easy! Rather than memorizing flashcards or reading textbooks, our specially designed games offer a wide variety of interactive ways to improve literacy skills.

WHY IT WORKS

STUDENTS catch up, keep up, and stay ahead on your literacy skills at school, at home, or on-the-go. You will see that with just a little practice, you’ll feel more confident in school and see your vocabulary and reading ability go way up!

PARENTS help kids develop effective reading skills, which are key for success in school (and in life!) During downtime at home or long trips in the car, you have activities to offer your kids that are fun and engaging for them, and also build their academic skills.

TEACHERS help your students continue their learning and review material in or out of the classroom. You will discover effective ways to achieve the outcomes you envision for your students.

RESEARCH-BASED METHODS

The 35+ interactive games and activities let students learn and retain words more effectively through:

Multiple Encounters

Research shows that students need at least 12 exposures to new words to secure them in their long-term memory. The games provide diverse and repeated opportunities to encounter new words, greatly aiding in retention.

Multiple Modalities

When students see and hear a word, and then break it down into its parts or read it in context, they are more likely to acquire the word’s meaning. With voice recordings, interactive sound boxes, animations, syllable activities and contextual sentences, these games create a rich learning experience for students.

Spacing

To ensure that new words stay in long-term memory, students must repeatedly revisit and review them over time (use it or lose it)! Students can create review lists that they save and return to later. They can pair them with so many different games that the process of reviewing words stays fresh and interesting.

Word Selection

Vocabulary affects student achievement across all subject areas. Our ready-made word lists support literature, academic vocabulary, content area vocabulary, and informational texts from the CCSS. Studying with these targeted lists, as well as having the option to create your own, can improve student performance across all aspects of their academic career.

Self-Testing

Rather than passive memorization, self-testing is a better tool for retention because it requires students to actively recall a word and retrieve it from memory. Our self-testing activities give students this opportunity, while also helping them identify gaps in their knowledge, so that they can prepare for school evaluations and be sure to master the material.
