I think your service is one of the most unique and high-valued applications available on the web. I appreciate your efforts a great deal!

Super idea... Keep it up! Your (and your team's) hard work is surely paying off in terms of a viable online training tool. [...] I didn't know 'billet-doux,' but the program made sure I did. Great!
Dave Riddle, 2005 National Senior Spelling Champion

Here some comments of the parent-teacher jury of the Teacher's Choice award: ... A fun and creative approach to the typical ways children learn vocabulary and spelling words.

... I would certainly recommend the purchase of this product to families with children of ALL ages. This is great for at home learning!

... This is a product that should be utilized daily -- or near daily -- to reap the rewards of an expanded vocabulary.

... It was easy to use and a great product for motivating my son to spell correctly.

... The product is interesting/motivating for children. The different features of the quizzes are worthwhile (pronunciation, definition given, word used in a sentence). Also, different levels are available, and children can select the amount of questions they want to have included in their quizzes. There are also sound effects, which all kids like.

... They can practice words whenever they have time with no assistance from parents or teachers.

... It remembers words my son missed on the previous quiz and asks him to spell the word again.

... I like how it tracks how long he took on the quiz.

... I think it is interesting. My daughter enjoyed seeing what she could spell and having the competitive aspect.

... I really motivated my son to want to do his best on the quizzes.

... This is a good tutorial for kids who need or want to increase their vocabulary and spelling skills.

... I like the Word Cup competition.

I have to do a spelling bee for my school AND study for the Scripps spelling bee simultaneously... trust me, it is VERY stressful because my mom has my 10-year-old younger sister, my 3-year-old brother, and my 5-month-old brother and has very little time to study 2 lists. BUT, a few days ago I found eSpindle, and it is AWESOME. It is very inexpensive AND very effective. You can type in the words from your list, or do the Paideia words and others... It is REALLY cool. My mom bought it right away.

Thank you for your prompt response to my questions. I signed up all six members of my family. My own spelling skills are fairly good but I think I'll try to justify the expense of an account for myself and use the college level vocabulary list, since I found some of those words very challenging. A far better pastime for staving off Alzheimer's than Solitaire, I think!
Good luck with this program. I hope it continues with great success.

I just quickly went into the site to check it out, and was getting really caught up in the quiz! I kept thinking "Just one more word!" The quizzes are truly addictive, in the most positive sense of the word.

My son Destin has an IQ of almost 140, but is frustrated with himself and his level of reading and spelling ...  After researching many web sites, I found your organization  — eSpindle — to be the best choice for Destin. Your site is clean, clear, and easy to navigate, and the tutor component is stellar.  I want to him gain a greater confidence in himself, and I know that eSpindle can help.

This is the best spelling bee website!
Mandark

I was curious and took a few minutes to look at your website.  It really looks great and I wish I had this available to me 20 years ago when my kids were growing up.  My last one just graduated from college.  I guess I'll have to let my grandkids try it.  I also very much like the idea of using it for ESL purposes.  It is really perfect for that.  It would have been useful for my wife. who is from Thailand, to practice her English...

My 12 year old is getting wonderful grades EXCEPT language arts (because of her poor spelling). She has already experienced growth due to your program.

I’m thrilled to have found eSpindle! 
My 6-year-old loves it and looks forward to it everyday!!
R. Hoffman

I find that students are getting more and more skillful at "dodging" their assignments, especially in higher grades. The site provides tutoring with more ease and diligence than I could ever provide. Plus, I won't miss administering and testing spelling word lists!

eSpindle is great for learning English vocabulary. It is very useful to have pronunciation, spelling and meaning all offered in one step.
