Website - Spellingcity.com
I love having my students log on to http://www.spellingcity.com/ once a week. This website's free activities have the kids doing so much with their word list that it becomes more of vocabulary practice than just a spelling review.
I log on and type in my weekly list words. At the end of the "Play A Game" option there is a printable handwriting activity. I'm not a huge stickler about handwriting since we are going toward digital communication in our society. However, I insist they write neatly to be polite. This is the only handwriting practice I have my students do in my class. Once they are finished the handwriting practice, neatly, then they can log on to spellingcity.com in our computer lab. My students put a lot of effort into their neatness so they can log on and not have to do it again.
The website generates a list that can be printed off and saved as a pdf document for future use. There are some other activities that can also be generated, printed off, and saved. It's become part of our weekly schedule and time well spent.
VocabularySpellingCity is great. Thanks for highlighting it. My students’ favorites games:
ReplyDeleteUnscramble, Hangman(HangMouse), Crossword Puzzle, and WordSearch.
Their favorite lists to play MatchIt with are the Sound-Alike Words (under the Teaching Resources)
