The program includes 6 ‘courses’ for teachers to choose from if setting work, one of them based, for example, on the National Curriculum, but also courses that are specially sequenced to help those with SEN. The courses contain words, grouped into spelling lists ready for students to learn. There are around 10,000 words in total, with a sound recording, image/video and sentences for each word.

Every game in Wordshark builds a different skill in reading or spelling. Whether students are using the automated progression mode or have been set work by the teacher/s, the program adapts to each student’s needs, allowing independent learning while building confidence.
