testimonial
"In my opinion Spell It! is the best spelling programme for 6th class. The spellings are really topical and relevant for oral language and written expression use. The exercises give the best opportunity to learn the spellings in context in a really sensible and effective way, developing vocabulary as well as spelling skills.
I’ve used many spelling programmes over the years and often get frustrated with activities that are time consuming and can exclude children with specific learning difficulties, but Spell It! can be used by everyone in an enjoyable way, allowing for independent or whole class learning. I’ll definitely be putting it on my booklist again next year."
