"Word Zapper"

Click for the Front of the Box

Six levels of spelling words, each (except level 1) containing over a thousand carefully selected, grade level appropriate words, are included in the program. But, you can make your own word lists if you like, or add more words to ours. And, there's an additional "Challenge" word list of over 400 humdingers for those smug 5th and 6th graders who are beginning to suspect that they know it all. This will be their chance to prove it.

As words roll along the conveyor belt, students checks their spellling and zap those which are misspelled. Points are scored for correct decisions. If the student gets 50 words completed making less than 10 errors along the way, a bonus round begins, drawing words from higher levels or from the challenge list. Higher level words, challenge words, higher speeds, and few or no errors score more points. It is possible to score over 100,000 points in a single game; but, it takes concentration, practice, and knowledge. Hmmm.

After each game, students practice spelling the words they missed; and missed words are added to each student's individual Focus List. Focus List words can be salted into the student's future games, and are removed when the student demonstrates recognition of the word's correct spelling.

Micrograms' Class File record keeping has been added to this new version of Word Zapper together with 3D graphics, new sound effects, additional program features, and greater action with the mouse. Current All Time Best Scores circulate around the network, appearing onscreen as the students work. Student Focus Lists, overall performance data, and the seven supplied word lists can be printed out. An OS X native (Jaguar, Panther, Tiger) version is available as well as, of course, WIN versions through XP.

From what we have seen and experienced around Micrograms as this new version of Word Zapper has been in its final stages of development, we think kids are going to enjoy the challenge of this program as much as we do; and we think they can't help but learn to spell more English words correctly almost by second nature.

Use this new version of Word Zapper to boost spelling performance at your school!
