Getting Back-to-School with Spelling City
The excitement of going back-to-the-books is always filled with an explosion of activity. The extracurriculars, sporting events,co-op planning, family fun weekends & the newness of books, supplies and bags can keep we homeschoolers running just as much as our public school counterparts. Behind all the joy of back-to-school lurks a heavy anxiety that can get most normal parents frayed at the edges, somewhere close to the line of insanity . . . oh wait, that must just be me! "Are my kids ready to rise to the next level of achievement?" "Will they rise to the excellence that we are hoping to reach in their education?" Well, if this is you too, here is a super resource to help you rise above the "fray" with your sanity in tact. SpellingCity.com is a great resource for getting your kids ready for that next and higher level of work that they will experience this year. Forget the workbooks and start them here to be engaged and challenged on the next level.
Spelling City offers many engaging options for students to rise to the next level . . . and in more than just Spelling. This site offers Vocabulary and Grammar drills for each and every grade level and age. The site has many resources for parents and teachers to use: wonderful printables, handwriting practices with spelling lists included, writing instructions to use while working, literature & phonics-based word lists, student writing practice and state-specific geography games & printables. The wonderful and creative games that SpellingCity.com offers for the kids will help them each rise to that next level of achievement: Speedy Speller, Missing Letter, Test Me Spelling, Hang Mouse, Match It, Letter Fall and much more. So toss the workbooks & lets get to drilling the fun way!
In this great spin on "Hangman", you must guess the correct spelling and word. When you miss, the kitty-cat gets a little closer to Mr. Mouse . . . yikes!
Catch the falling letters to help Mr. Mouse spell out the word. Run mousy, run!
Kids race the clock and each other to see who can spell the quickest in all the land!
