English teacher Mrs. V. Mahmoud from the Eaton Bank Academy in Cheshire, UK recently became the 400th person to follow Spellzone on Twitter. To celebrate this milestone Mrs. Mahmoud was contacted by Spellzone and offered a free subscription to the online English spelling course for her school.

For the next twelve months up to 1000 students at Eaton Bank will be able to practice their own word lists and brush up on all the English spelling rules in school, at home and on their mobile devices.

Mrs. Mahmoud said "This is a fantastic opportunity for our students! I'm sure this will be invaluable in helping them to improve their spellings and therefore improve the quality of their writing in all subject areas! We're really looking forward to using this in school and the fact that students can access it at home makes this a flexible programme that can meet the needs of all of our students."

We will be giving away another subscription for the 500th follower so watch this space!

One of the students has put in a huge amount of effort in completing Spellzone at least 3 times a week since his arrival with us in January. Looking at his scores after the latest GL testing, his standardised score has risen from 99 to 131. This is a truly phenomenal result. I just wanted to share the best result I have ever seen.
