Spelling City, while a bit juvenile for older students, can be a great resource. Teachers can sign up and place the spelling list onto the web. Teachers can upload a number of different lists. For instance, when I taught 2nd grade, we had 3 spelling groups: red, blue, and green. I uploaded 3 lists to our Spelling City website labeled red, blue, and green, and students could log on in the evenings and study at home -- all they had to know was the color of their spelling group.
Spelling City also allows students to play some cool games. In addition, teachers can print off some nifty worksheets. This "worksheets" are more like games: crossword puzzles, word scrambles, etc. It takes what some kids perceive as "not fun," and suddenly makes it just a little bit more enjoyable. (I'm always looking for a way to make learning more fun. Thanks, Spelling City!)
Obviously, this website is pretty limited in that it can only be used by teachers who teach spelling in their classrooms. I guess you could put vocab words on there, but the site wouldn't provide any definitions (which may be a blessing in disguise).
If you teach spelling in your classroom at all, definitely look into Spelling City. It may be help you and your students a lot!
