Spelling Week 2


Some of your parents have asked for some resources to help you with improving your spelling and vocabulary. I`ve found a site that you can use at home to help you practice.
You will have a list of words, and you can have the computer say the words aloud so that you can type them in to check your spelling.
To get to the online resource, click on the following link:
Scroll down to the bottom and click on ``Hear and Spell`` in the Learn category.
Feel free to complete any of the activites in the green section with your words.
Proceed on to the bottom section of that screen under Practice. Press the START button and you will hear the words read aloud and you can type them into the box provided (yes I know the words are at the top!)
When you are comfortable with the words, go to the section labelled Practice and choose ``Hear and Spell`` ìn this new category. Now you will have the words read to you without seeing them on the screen. Each time you practice, record your scores in your agenda. Set a goal to practice four times each week.


When you are working on getting comfortable with the words, go to the following link to get activities to do with these words.
Vocabulary Activities
Read the definitions for each word at the top of the green page, then scroll down and click on the START button to practice with their definitions.


Aim for 5 minutes for each activity. If you are finding these words too difficult, please let me know and I will get you a different list.


Have fun!
