Wordshark is a fantastic resource… We use it across KS3 and KS4. The GCSE vocabulary is very useful extending the use of the programme beyond ‘spelling’ as pupils become familiar with key terminology.”  Katherine Davis, Senco, Leweston School, Dorset

I like Wordshark because I know it works.  I have been using it for years and it’s my ‘go to’ with children who need support with reading and spelling.

We have been using the various versions of Wordshark within Devon's SpLD Support Centre for many years, to give our students the essential reinforcement and continuous practice they need to master a wide range of spelling patterns and rules. Each upgrade has led to a better product, with more features. We find our students are always happy to play on Wordshark…
