Mark,

Similar feelings in Wells with Spelling City and Vocabulary A-Z.

Curious if anyone has suggestions...

We used Spelling City for many years at the elementary school, but it was absorbed into Vocabulary A-Z this year and teachers don't like it because it is difficult for them to manage and the spelling tests don't show the students' misspellings, just whether they got it right or wrong. Teachers want to be able to assign lists that students can practice with games and take a test online that shows the teacher what each student spelled and how they scored. This would be for K-6.
Does anyone have an alternative site or app for spelling to recommend? They don't have to be free.  Students at K-2 have iPads and 3+ have MacBooks.

Thanks!
