Spelling

Here is a list of the spelling websites recommended by generous teacher librarians and collected over time:

- The spelling centre: @http://www.spellingcentre.com.au/lip/index.htm Free at least until term 2, 2012. Designed to support students in upper primary to lower secondary who are having spelling difficulties.

· SpellingCity [] - Excellent free site. You can upload your own lists and have ready made activities.

· Visuwords [] - free visual dictionary.

· [] is similar to the app. suitable up to HSC. Free trial gets you full game with lots of levels and game modes, no ads, can save and play without the internet

· [] Custom spelling lists can be saved, and linked to from a classroom website and linked to the available games

· [] Words are spoken by the computer. Games and tutor system

· [] Lots of great literacy stuff including spelling- eg. Spelling rule tester, sticky letters, compound words.

· [] An engaging Look, cover.. game that may be handy ??? Try it out before you say no.

· [] Great for meanings rather than spelling- the website donates grains of rice to World Vision when kids get the meaning of a word right. Words get harder as you get them right.

Why not make a word search? I particularly like this word search generator: http://www.teachers-direct.co.uk/resources/wordsearches/wordsearch-maker.aspx
