Software Summary
Spelling Made Simple is a program that helps people learn how to spell. Lists can be made by typing them into the program so that any desired custom list can be created. Lists can also be created and learned quickly by dragging and dropping or copying and pasting text into the software. You can also download some lists from our site so that you don't need to create them yourself. You can see, and hear the word (based on the user's settings) and then type the answer which helps with the memorization process and is a proven method in learning how to spell. If the answer is wrong it will go back into the queue and be retried later so that the words that need more practice get tested more often. Statistics are kept with the intention that you can review improvement and review what needs to be worked on.
About The Software
Spelling Made Simple by Prenap is a
spelling software program that implements a simple but proven method of
learning spelling words. The spelling software application is designed so that
students can run through their spelling list quickly and easily or a business
professional can review all of the challenging words in a proposal.
When people get to a certain age they don't want spelling software that is fluffy and colorful. Students nearing 5th grade usually want to
do grownup things. Therefore a childish spelling program to them is not
appealing.
This spelling software program is
also important to adults as well. Many business people want to ensure they can
spell the words in a proposal before giving a presentation where they might
need to write a challenging word. If they misspell a word during a meeting it
could cost them respect, credibility and money.

Hello, we love the software! I use it for a grade 3 and 4. The difference in my daughter is, if she has a week she doesn’t use it she does horrible, but the weeks she does use it(4-5 days) she gets no more then 1 wrong. I would try and market this in schools. My kids go to Surrey Christian in surrey BC and they use computers a lot. If you want to give them a trail run, I can get the resource teacher’s email? Let me know cause I have no problem promoting it.

Thank you. We've used the software for several years with great results. Three of my children have used it for spelling tests from 3rd through 8th grade. It has been very worthwhile.

Thanks. I purchased it for a 11 year old 6th grader. We tried it out and he really likes it, which is key. I spent about an hour getting familiar with the manual and installing software and adding first list (recorded the names until I saw you could download audio) really cool. He tested it out and was impressed. Spelling is not one of his strengths, so this will help when I'm helping one of the siblings. I will be spreading the word. I'm already certain he will become more independent.

Thanks! I absolutely LOVE this spelling program. I bought so much over the years. I’m homeschooling 4 kids, and I don’t have time to read spelling lists! I did buy Spelling Doctor—that picks up misspellings from emails, Microsoft Word, but I don’t like it. It’s great at picking up misspellings, but that’s about it. Spelling Made Simple is so easy to use and I love that I can easily create my own lists! I couldn’t create lists with Spelling Doctor.
Thanks for such a great product and making it so affordable to homeschoolers!

We really like the program! I have three children that use it now, 10,
9, and 6. It is excellent! My 10 year old went from getting D's and
F's to getting A's. Every time he misses a week I can definitely tell
in his grades. He really struggles with spelling, but with this
program he is really improving. My 6 year old has just started
spelling this year and I started him on it right away. He has aced
every test so far. They all really enjoy the program. I often hear
"mom can I do my spelling now".
Thank you so much!

Benjamin,
Thanks for the quick reply! I’m a homeschooler of 4 boys (ages 6, 8, 11, 13), and 2 years ago I searched for a spelling program that didn’t require my sons to wait for me to read them their spelling list and that gave my sons typing practice (since the keyboard is where they will do the majority of their spelling as an adult!). I wanted something where I could easily enter my own words and record sound files. I found several programs, including one monthly subscription program, but yours stood out as the best for several reasons:
1.Entering words is simple & quick: just click in the box and hit enter after each word is typed in. No wasted finger or hand motions by tabbing or clicking with the mouse, which I found on other programs
2.Spell Checker: as I recall, yours is the only program that had a spell checker. One of the other reviewed programs sure could have used that! They even had a misspelled word on the interface box.
3.Dictionary link: I really like this! No other program had this feature which I find important if you have never seen or heard the word before.
4.Sound files: your program has sound files ready to download easily from your web site. One other program required me to record ALL the words on each list, even if the word had been used on another entered list! The subscription program I tried used a computer generated voice which was extremely frustrating for my kids and me to understand, especially since the words were never used in a sentence to give contextual clues. Your program on the other hand has a very easy user interface that allows me to record words not on your site or record over words my sons can’t understand. No time limit is placed on the recording too, allowing me to use a word in a sentence, which is especially helpful and necessary for homonyms. Another reviewed program had a time limit for each recording, making sentence recording an impossibility.
5.The generation of error lists. I’m all for efficiency – why practice what you already have mastered?!
6.Statistics center: here I can see exactly what my sons spelled wrong and how they spelled it wrong. I can also make sure they did the assigned list on the assigned day!
All in all, an awesome program that I have coupled with spelling lists from the Mega Word series that are logically related and not a disorganized conglomeration of words deemed age or grade appropriate. With the organized lists and your program enabling me to ensure my sons practice spelling everyday with immediate feed back, my sons spelling has improved drastically without a lot of time invested by me personally reading, rereading, and grading word lists with each child.
Thanks so much for a wonderfully helpful spelling program. Your computer programming skills have been a blessing to me and my sons – though they won’t realize it until they are older.
Sincerely,
Linda M.

I am using this software with my 7th grader, which I home school. In the past we’ve used the Spelling Power curriculum. I like the idea of working on spelling daily and adding missed words to the next day’s list, until you master them. Your software has giver my daughter a great resource for spelling and given me a break from calling spelling words daily. Awesome! I will recommend this product to other home school moms.
Thanks again!

Hi Mr. Gerten,
Guess what? I only thought I was done with spelling bees! My mom found out about a brand new spelling bee, the 2008 State Farm South Asian Spelling Bee. She called and asked if I could participate, even though I'm not South Asian, and they said yes! I participated in the Bay Area regional, where I won on the word treponemataceae! I was then qualified for the National competition in New Jersey, which was held this past weekend. There were actually six spellers competing at the nationals who had also been at the Scripps bee this year. I won the finals on the word biloculine and was awarded $5,000! It was quite an interesting bee, and there were more mispronunciations than I could count! They pronounced buccinator as beccinator, zumbooruk as zomborik, and protasis as prah-TAY-sis. They haven't updated their website with photos from Nationals yet, but they probably will soon. The bee was taped by Sony Television Asia and is going to air in 150 countries around the world in October, but I think it will only be seen here in the U.S. if you have satellite TV.
Just thought you might like to hear about the latest spelling bee I was in! And by the way, it was fun to see my name on your website!

I use ths program with are 8-15 year olds. My 12 year old was doing horrible in spelling. I have even kept her a year behind in spelling to help with her problems. She went from 50-60% with a few higher scores to making 80-90% and I believe she even got at least 1 100%. It has raised her confidence and I think the audio is what has really helped her. She has a problem with pronunciation and even after I would go over them with her she would forget the next time, so hearing it repeated each lesson has been the trick for her. I love the ease of using this product and have suggested it to several people. The price is also very affordable and reasonable. I believe I heard about this program through an email sent to me from someone. It has truly saved me of alot of tears and heartache as well as that of my children. We thank you so much for your program. And thank the Lord for blessing you with the gift to come up with such a program.

I just love the software and can't imagine NOT using it to tutor students in preparation for the NSB. I tell everyone I can to buy it!
Obviously I love it. I am going to be using it extensively with my students.

My daughter is competing in the Spelling Bee next week. She has used your program extensively for study over the past 8 months. I can't even count the number of lists she has created for the purpose of study an drill. She is hoping that, with the change in written test format this year, the hours spent studying with your program will be even more useful because she has typed the words so many times.
Thanks for a great product!

I bought it for my daughter who is a nursing student. She likes it and it also has a list of medical words. She wants to improve her spelling for charting.
Thank you

You have a great product.

I wasn't very hopeful when I tried out your software because I had tried so many spelling programs, but after using Spelling Made Simple for a couple of months, I must say that I really like the software. There are a few things I like about it - it's simple, as it's name says. I can load lists very easily from my daughters' books, and the audio has been there for 99% of the words. If the audio is not there, it's easy to add my own audio. What I like best about it is that I don't have to stand over my kids and recite lists of words to them. My daughters are 15, 13, 11, and 7 and they all use the software.
I love the software. You did a great job with it, and I'm thankful for a spelling program that may finally work for my kids.
Thanks!

I went ahead and bought the software. I am a special education teacher and I have been looking for a program that I could recommend for parents to used at home. So far it looks good. Also, I enjoy spelling so I will try the Spelling Bee words.
Thank you for the great customer service,

I am a homeschooling mom who had tried numerous ways to help my son overcome his
difficulties in Spelling. I looked on the Internet, for some help, and found
Spelling Made Simple. This program has greatly helped my son - now he passes
his spelling tests on his first try! He also loves using the program - to him
it's a game and not "school".
Thank you for this wonderful tool!

"I sent you a chart a month or so ago showing the improvement in our 6-year-old
(1st grade)'s improvement. She now gets a 100% every week, well except the
weeks that she get 110% by getting the bonus right."

"This program in just two weeks of use has taken my 2nd grader from making a 60 or 50 on her weekly spelling test to two consecutive 100+ spelling tests."

"Thanks for the new upgrade. It has all the things I wished from the beginning. My daughter is in 7th grade and thanks to SMS, I can proudly say she is an "A" student. The program is great, and now with the select all and recorder added to it, everything I need is right in the program. Once again, keep up the good work. I hope you will still record words though, even though you have now included the recorder. Having the words provided is one of the best parts of this software. God bless all at SMS. I hope you sell many copies of this around the world.
Thanks again.
Andre A."
