My daughter has problems with spelling and I’ve been trying to find new and more interesting ways to help her to be more successful. Jade was in speech therapy for a little over three years for an immature auditory system and still has problems sounding out words. Ironically, she’s a very advanced reader with great comprehension.
Anyway, quite by accident I found this great site (www.wordle.net) that will allow you to make art out of words. Here’s an example of her first spelling/art masterpiece:
If you’d like to see more of Jade’s masterpieces (or just play around with it yourself) be sure to visit www.wordle.net. Jade’s work will be saved under “Cherbear2768″ in the gallery.
BTW, there is no censorship within Wordle, so you may want to just let your children play with the application without going through the gallery.
