Spelling City is a great site not only for improving your spelling skills, but also for practising writing. After you login, you will find yourself on 'My Teacher's Page'.
Here are some activities you should do.
1. Under the Spelling City logo you will see blue tabs with white words on them,
click on the blue tab that says Videos -FAQs.
Find the Handwriting video.
Click on it to learn how to print out handwriting practice sheets of all of our lists. These help you to practise writing neatly, as well as providing a written list of the words you are learning for studying and reading them.

| I know I can write better than that! |
2. Go to Play A Game. (We have a Premium account, which means you can play any of the games.)
Make sure you try both of the writing activities (Sentence Writing & Paragraph Writing) for each spelling list you work on. This is a great way for you to improve your writing as I mark each sentence and/or paragraph you write and give you specific comments, questions, and ways to improve your writing right on the page where you wrote your sentences. You are expected to rewrite your sentences using the advice I give you to help you make new connections and improve your writing skills. (You can find my comments to you by clicking on My Records and scrolling down and clicking on the writing activity you completed.)
3. Go to Play A Game. Try to complete all of the Vocabulary activities under the Pink Premium Activities title. There are 5 activities there, plus Vocabulary Test Me and Flash Cards. Play these to increase the number of words you know the meanings of, so that you can confidently use them in your writing.
4. Take the Spelling and Vocabulary Tests online for each of the Assignments. Challenge yourself and see how much you really know.
