The education is presented in a fun first-person flying simulation. After you are done with choosing a word list, skill level, a helicopter, and a terrain over which to fly, it’s off to the game proper. The game will flash a sentence on the top of your screen with one or more missing blanks. Your goal is to maneuver the helicopter to find and capture the letters that will spell out the correct word that fills in those blanks. You must also land the helicopter safely afterwards. Avoiding attacks from enemies may prove a tad too difficult for younger kids as they must learn how to fly, control speed, change directions, fire bullets and missiles all while trying to capture the letters.

The game includes forty lists of ten words each, for a total of 400 words. These are frequently used words that vary in both length and difficulty. One of the best features is that this vocabulary can be expanded with your own word lists. This is a great way to gradually up the difficulty.

Overall, Super Spellicopter is an excellent spelling game that parents should take a look at. It sure beats reading flash cards, at any rate ;) Two thumbs up!
