What is Wordshark and how does it work? Wordshark is a computer program that combines the fun and excitement of bright, multi-sensory games with the serious task of learning to read and spell. It is used widely in schools as well as at home. The 55 colourful games are carefully designed to teach and reinforce reading and spelling using 9,000 pre-recorded words. You can also add your own word lists which is particularly useful for practising homework. The varied combinations of games and word lists create both variety and motivation.

Select a word list or set up your own words...To get to the database of words, click on ‘choose word lists.’ The words are grouped into very specific, carefully prepared list. Step 2. Click on one of the 55 games icons.... To get to the icons, click on ‘choose games.’ (The words in your list will be applied to that game.) Step 3. Enjoy playing your game! Then try the reward activity!... Step 4. Pick a new game!...The 55 games reinforce the words in many different ways. Step 5. When the words are learnt, choose a new list! The program comes with an A4 size manual including advice on use of the program. There are also on screen help boxes for every game.
For what ages is it suitable? Wordshark is mostly used by students between 5 and 15. Some of the games are more suitable for younger children but most games are appropriate for any age.
