Levels of Processing

Studies show that the more information a student is given on a word, and the more they process its meaning, the better they will remember it. Ultimate spelling encourages deep processing by providing a wealth of information about words such as encyclopedic content, rhymes, visualization, and more.

Operant Conditioning

This means that students learn much faster when they are rewarded for the desired result. Ultimate Spelling uses this science by rewarding students for their progress in a number of ways. Students get an instant visual reward for a correct spelling. They can also gain a long-term sense of achievement through Ultimate Spelling’s progress tracking.

Spaced Repetition

Each game automatically selects a sub-list of words to create a spaced repetition effect. Dozens of studies show that spaced repetition can increase retention by up to 50%.

Motivation

Perhaps most important, students are far more likely to improve their spelling when the experience is fun, engaging, and interesting.
