Word Wizard is a comprehensive Australian spelling and vocabulary program that uses proven teaching techniques in educationally sound, learning activities. It is recommended by parents, teachers, tutors, speech therapists and child psychologists because "it works and kids just love it".

Designed as a phonetic developmental program, it can accomodate students of all levels from Year 1 to Year 7 in the same program. Difficulty levels can be adjusted to suit all students. For untrained users there is a placement test to help find where students need to commence work.

It can be used for whole classes, small groups, individuals, home and school use. Word Wizard can also be used as a whole school spelling program or it can be used to add interest to most other programs. It is especially useful for students with learning difficulties, as well as for mainstream and extension work. Importantly, the software incorporates two essential components for success; it is fun to use, and it is work based.

Word Wizard uses sound (Australian voices), text and visual cues to teach and reinforce spelling and vocabulary skills including phonics, homophones, plurals, prefixes, suffixes and much more.

Over 3,000 words, across 196 word lists, using Dr Bev Hornsbys Alpha to Omega grouping, are incorporated into 20 fully interactive learning games with full narration. In all, there are more than 2,700 learning activities for students to attempt.

Key features include; placement testing, assessment testing, student record keeping, easy navigation, non-distractive animation and sound, real-time feedback, achievement recognition, printable certificates and highest scores recorded.

Users are able to access a complete word-index of more than 4,000 words from which custom word lists can be compiled.

Narrated sentences for every word are also available to give the student an understanding of how an individual word is used in context. Click here for more information, including screen shots! ** ALSO AVAILABLE IN SCHOOL EDITION **
