This review is from: FLY Through™ Spelling (Toy)

My son was having a very hard time with spelling. We have tried everything to help him! I went online to see what I could find and found the Fly Through spelling product. I bought it for him and the first week he got a 92% on his spelling test! The next week a 98%! This week (drum roll please) he got a 101%!!!! He is so excited! We are too! I recommend it to anyone. I am going to get Fly though Math next. He has an A in math right now but he is starting to need a little extra practice and this is a fun way to do just that!

My son won't stop playing the spelling games. There are even 2 player games that we can play together. I never could get him to look at his spelling words. Now he turns off the gamecube to play his Fly pen spelling games. He has even asked me to get him the Math Software. I'm off to the store!

This review is from: FLY Through™ Spelling (Toy)

I homeschool my children. Although I am very happy with the curriculum we are using, my son just struggled and struggled with spelling. Writing is already low on his want-to list so writing out his spelling list every week was like pulling teeth. We found ourselves both frustrated by the end of the week. He was failing almost every spelling test. I knew I had to get creative with our lessons. I found this Fly Pen Spelling program and at first I thought, "Well couldn't hurt. Why not give it a shot?" At this point I was at my wits end, as was my son. WHAT A FUN PRODUCT!!! He had a blast with the games and of course spending his fly bucks at the end was a huge hit. However, as the mom and teacher, my next question was, "Yeah it's fun but did it work?" HE PASSED EVERY TEST FROM THAT POINT ON TILL THE END OF THE YEAR!!!!! Worth the money? YES DEFINITELY YES!!! I think we could use more lists in the book though. One complaint...ONLY LASTS 5 WEEKS...There is only enough pages for FIVE lists...All the rest are games based on those five lists. We have a new list every week. I can't afford to buy a new book every 5 weeks. Here's a tip...DELETE THE WORDS FROM A LIST AND WRITE THE NEW LIST NEXT TO EACH DELETED WORD...That lasted a little while longer.
