Focusing on Spelling, HF Words and Vocabulary with Spelling City...

Parents and Readers of this Blog:

    Spelling City is a great on-line program, it has lots of games to practice and here is the problem.
With lots of games it is easy to lose focus on what is really needed to be done.

For example: If you are on the spelling list you should be concentrating on the Spelling Section (Hang Mouse, Word Search, Unscramble, Word Match, Missing Letter and Handwriting)  


If you are on Vocabulary you should be concentrating on the Vocabulary Section (Match It Sentence, Which Word Sentence, Sentence Scramble,Match It Definitions, Which Word Definitions and Word O'Rama)


And finally, High Frequency word need to be reviewed with Spelling Teach Me.


Remember to monitor your child and check his or her progress by testing their spelling, asking them to read the High Frequency words and use the flash cards (printed out for homework)
