Although the teaching on Spellzone covers spelling rules from a basic level, it differs greatly from software developed for children. It is therefore very suitable for adult training purposes. The course provides comprehensive teaching in English spelling rules, followed by extensive word lists and activities in the form of interactive tests and games.
All teaching points are presented clearly, in a logical progression so the course can be supervised by non-specialist tutors or used independently. The Spellzone Spelling Ability Test provides a baseline 'Spellzone Score' and creates a personal 'Course Pathway' for each student.
As the course is online it can be used in the work place, at home, or on a mobile device. This gives Spellzone a significant advantage over software that is only available on a network or CD. All test results are stored online so tutors can monitor progress at any time if required.

"Thank goodness for Spellzone during this remote learning phase. The site is easy for students to navigate independently and they're really enjoying the activities and spelling games. You get an awful lot for your money with Spellzone. Really reassuring is the very prompt response with helpdesk queries. I've very rarely needed the helpdesk, but when I have, the issue has been addressed and sorted within a very short time."
