WordShark 4

WordShark 4 combines the excitement of computer games with the serious task of learning to read and spell. Its 55 games use sound, graphics and text to teach and reinforce word recognition and spelling. Now with courses to support the latest recommendations for a high quality phonics programme.

WordShark 4 includes phonics, onset and rime, homophones, spelling rules, common letter patterns, visual and auditory patterns, prefixes, suffixes, roots, word division, high frequency words, use of words in context, alphabet and dictionary skills and more.

The games and selection of 1,500 pre-recorded words are designed to assist those with specific learning difficulties. Suitable for home and school use, and all ages.

The word lists are arranged in three alternative structured courses covering the Literacy Hour UK spellings and word recognition, secondary school/adult SEN and the three stages of the book Alpha to Omega. Variable speeds and other options meet all grades of skill.

The latest version has 3,000 extra words from the KS3 Curriculum and sentences that show the words in context. It is easy to add new words for learners to practice and the program keeps student records too.
