Home School Online

A site that many homeschool parents, who like web-based resources, has discovered as the best way to deal with spelling time is SpellingCity.com.   It’s free (mostly, there is a premium membership), full of useful activities and games, and has some great lists. I’ve been thinking of building a lot more literature based word lists.

OK – I know that I just posted about SpellingCity.com (It’s amazing), but every time I check out the site, I find something new and wonderful.

 How about this…Not only can you enter and save your own spelling list, not only can you take a spelling test online and play an array of different games using your list but you can now:

- use an amazing TeachMe that is great for visual learners. In fact, it evokes all the different learning modes and helps kids’ memories. It really helps teach spelling.

- print out your spelling list for copying over and handwriting practice.  Right now, it’s just lower case cursive with that lined paper that we use to teach handwriting. But the site says that script, capitals, and other fonts and a variety of sizes will be out soon. 

Spelling City is the best online spelling program. I’m so impressed.
