The Spelling Quizzer is designed for children between 1st and 6th grades to help them with their weekly spelling words.  It allows the student or parent to enter the spelling words along with a sample sentence and/or word definition.  The student can then study the words, and when he/she feels he is ready, can take the quiz.  The quiz will display the sentence and/or definition and the student will have to enter the spelling word.  When the student ends the quiz it will display his score.
