"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!"
"It was cool to suggest a word (abele) be added to my spelling list and -
surprise! There the program was testing me on 'abele'!"

"I have been looking for quite a while for a website
that offers a quality spelling/vocabulary
experience. Yours is the very best I have found,
and while I understand that almost any human effort
requires MONEY at some point, your organization
seems more concerned about quality education that is
fun and available to all than about MONEY.
Refreshing!!"

"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

The quizzes are truly addictive, in the most positive sense of the word." B.S. Fischer, CA

"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."

"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..."

Here some comments of the parent-teacher jury: |
|
... 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 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!" P. Judge, CA
