CD Version Awards

Typing Tournament retains all the power and flexibility of the multi-award-winning CD version but has been massively enhanced by the addition of over 100 changes resulting from our extensive classroom testing and research.

Vocabulary Building

Greatly expand students' spoken, read and spelled vocabulary

As each spelling word and its related sentence is voiced students are progressively exposed to unfamiliar words used in context. They can then choose to read the word and its context sentence and if necessary, access the related dictionary definition.
The vast graded content ensures that no matter the level of the student their vocabulary will rapidly expand as they use Spelling Force.

Automatic Levelling (Adaptive and Mastery Learning)

Each student automatically works at their own level

Automatic Levelling uses a unique combination of Adaptive and Mastery modes to quickly level each child and then progressively present spelling content.

The Adaptive Learning mode initially and quickly levels each child and re-levels them if the words being presented are too hard or too easy.
The Mastery Learning mode progressively presents the spelling words for the user's ability level. This enables reinforcement of the spelling rules, patterns and topics inbuilt in the word groups and progressions.
Ensures that each pupil's learning is focused on mastering the words and spelling patterns required for them to progress.
