St. Patrick's Day words, a la Wordle
I cannot say that I have ever needed to spell the word "shilelagh" until today's post. However, I consider myself a good speller, and have enjoyed learning new words, and spelling them well, for as long as I can remember reading or writing at all.
A little spelling practice never hurt anyone, though, and SpellingCity is a great place to visit when you want to practice your list in a fun way. After creating your teacher login account, you can begin to really harness this website, as your specialized lists (i.e. Words Their Way sorts, holiday words, subject area terminology) can be added. (Note: There are pre-made lists and teacher resources available, as well.) Students can sign in to your individual homepage at SpellingCity (visit my homepage to see how they appear to your students), and get started on working with your lists. Students can practice writing the words on computer-generated worksheets, alphabetize their list and even take a practice test online:
Beyond offering online practice and testing options , entertaining games are available. HangMouse (just like Hangman) is one of my favorites:
