VocabularySpellingCity.com will be exhibiting at next week's FETC conference in Orlando, Florida.

The educational Web site offers learning games—including HangMouse, Unscramble, and Premium Crossword--and instructional resources designed to build vocabulary skills. The company added a new feature for teachers called "Assignments" which enables instructors to customize learning activities for individuals or groups. Teachers choose word lists and activities and then assign them to the whole class, small groups, or individual students. Students log into the system and complete the activity. The system automatically records the completed activities for the teacher.

VocabularySpellingCity will be at booth 1036 at FETC.
