Spelling City and new handwriting and writing activities

     Looking for a way to get some handwriting lessons into your curriculum?  Use your spelling or vocabulary words and www.Spellingcity.com . Spelling City has a handwriting worksheet that you can create. Start with a list, then choose handwriting and print worksheet. There are options for type size and style.  Two birds with one stone, handwriting and spelling.
     There are also new writing features on Spelling City.  You can have your students write sentences using a list of words.  Or, you can require that they write a paragraph using all the words from a list.  You can also write your own directions; ie: have students write definitions for each word in the list.  These can be printed out or emailed to the teacher.  If you have the premium ($) version you can save and score student work online.  Here are links to two short videos demonstrating the possibilities.

  1. I will import my handwriting worksheets from Spelling City into my Promethean flipcharts. The students can practice their handwriting without me having to copy the worksheets. They also think it is a lot more fun because they can change the color of their ink!
