Homeschooling with Rocket Spelling

In addition to classroom teachers, homeschooling parents are also invited to take advantage of getting Rocket Spelling for free throughout the 2017-2018 school year! Our registration system defaults to creating a minimum of 5 students in every teacher account, but not all of those accounts need to actually be utilized. If you have fewer students in your care, you can still create a teacher account with the minimum of 5 students, set up just the number of student accounts you actually need, and your student(s) will be able to log in and play right away!

Unlocking Challenge & Review Levels

For each set of words on Rocket Spelling, there are two types of levels: practice and challenge. The practice level is multiple choice, and words that are missed are re-tested later in the list. The challenge level is harder: students must type the word in themselves (without answer choices being provided), and they only get one try for each word.

For each word set, the challenge level is locked by default. A student must first beat the practice level for a certain set of words to unlock that particular challenge level.
