What a deal!

My third grader loves the spelling games that it creates from your weekly spelling list. I love the fact that if they do not have the word you need you can request it. They get it to you in just a day or so. The graphics are great and we all love the Flinksters. Also, i don't have to buy another spelling product until she is out of the fifth grade. …More

I am homeschooling my 2nd grader and he loves this program. It is much more interesting than writing lines and keeps his attention longer.
I love that I can customize his word list for the week and I don't have to look up any definitions. I also love that a spelling test is included! …More8 of 8 people found this useful

Mrs. Flinkster's Spelling Accelerator
Horrible user interface. Not designed for kids at all.
Written by DW from Delmont
Feb 28, 2009
This program is supposed to be for first through fifth grade students, but I don't see how any first grader could possibly use this.
Basically, in order to learn how to spell very simple words, the user needs to be able to read the "clues" as they appear on the screen. These clues often contain far more complicated words than the ones the child is trying to learn in the first place. For example, the clue for the number eight involves ordinal values.
Additionally, the user interface is very poorly designed. Things that ought to be one simple click often take multiple clicks and it isn't always obvious what ought to be clicked.
This is a very poor product. Save your money.
