Okay, I know I have posted about this before and I have a link in my sidebar, but just in case you didn't take my word for it then I want to really encourage you to check out Spelling City . It does not matter if you homeschool or if your kids are in public or private school. If your kids take spelling tests, you want to check out this site.
All you do is enter your child's spelling list (or they can do it themselves) and the site will 'teach' them the words (audibly spell the words and use them in a sentence), 'play a game' with them (there are about 7 games that the site automatically fills with your lists including, crossword, word scramble, word search, hangman and more), or it will 'test' them (your child types in the word as the computer reads the test.)
It is free, it is easy and it is fun. This site really is for everyone no matter the grade level. Check it out. If your child's teacher has not heard of it pass on the info to them. The teachers can input their lists and the child can access them from home. There are probably many teachers who would love to use this tool if they knew about it.
