Spellingcity.com , which I mentioned in my last post, is a great FREE site to help students learn their weekly spelling words. Students can enter their spelling words and then practice them through the use of various online games. Teachers can even upload their spelling lists one week at a time or for an entire year. This is something that I haven't tried as I use an individualized spelling program in my class. HangMouse, which happens to be my class' favorite, is a fun version of Hangman. With each incorrect guess, the cat gets wakes up a little bit more putting the mouse in jeopardy. Students get 7 guesses to figure out their word.
