Spanish spelling study materials on this webpage were designed for both kids and older language students alike, and provide a relaxed and fun way to revise and practice the Spanish vocabulary that they have already studied. Fun, quirky multiple-choice spelling bee style games suitable for students seeking an interactive visual learning style, and for teachers looking for engaging activities to incorporate into classroom lesson plans. These exercises function as a way of advancing your Spanish reading comprehension level and writing skills, and also as a means for becoming completely versed in the sounds of the Spanish alphabet and Spanish phonemes. Games require the learner to fill in the missing letters of the words, and then to choose the gender of the word or the definite article (el, la) in the case where the game requires the learner to spell nouns. Intuitive Spanish practice games that require minimal instruction for playing, and that can be enjoyed by even younger kids without too much parental supervision. Spelling games use the same vocabulary as the language learning games in the Spanish games index. All audio files are in Castilian Spanish, the variant of Spanish spoken in Peninsular Spain. However, the vocabulary used here is the same as you would encounter in Latin America and other Spanish speaking regions.

This is an action online spelling game. When you type correctly the words you hear, you can eliminate the sharks that are threatening the goldfish. The typing is under time pressure, yet you can press the "clue" button to have the word flashed on the screen. This activity can be challenging, and is more suitable for kids in 3rd grade and 4th grade.
The lists are arranged in stages that coordinate to the children's development through spelling patterns, also called features.
The beginning lists for first graders allow the kids to approach the words one sound at a time (i.e. initial consonants), to then building more of a sight word vocabulary (i.e. word families).
Moving on from there, learners in second grade are able to chunk parts of words and process them more fluently when they read (i.e. consonant blends).
Third graders continue the fluency of reading while they explore the meanings of words (i.e. silent consonants), while fourth graders can handle more complex spelling patterns (i.e. double consonant with e-drop).
Of course, a student may overlap in stages, for instance, a second grader may still need some work on a few "first grade" features, or may dabble in some third grade features. They are merely an average "snapshot" for students in elementary school.
In addition to the lists for each grade level, there are many "themed" lists for students of all ages to enjoy (themes such as September, Halloween, Winter, Earth Day, Science Day etc.)
Spelling and studying words ultimately promotes a greater interest in reading and writing. When a child has word understanding and vocabulary knowledge, all aspects of Language Arts are enhanced.
I understand that Canvas is very sensitive when it comes to student "fill in the blank" responses. This year I am having to address more issues with quizzes than previous years. I am reinforcing the habit with my students to check spelling and rules of capitalization and punctuation. What are the specific rules that Canvas runs off of with fill in the blank answers? I ask this because my students do not capitalize an answer and they get the item correct even if the correct answer is capitalized. However, today several students input their answers correctly and canvas marked them wrong and automatically lower cased the answer. This was my entire class of students that had this issue.
With the new Quizzes.Next quizzing engine that has been released recently, fill-in-the-blank question types now have some additional options, including case-sensitive answers. Check out this documentation: -15069-4152780601 You might want to check with your school's local Canvas administrator to see if they have considered using the new Quizzes.Next quizzing engine. Hope this helps!
Regular expressions are an easy way to program several response variations that are acceptable as correct without having to program them all in separately. It worked very nicely in Blackboard under the "pattern match" option but I have been unable to make it work in Canvas quizzes or in quizzes.next. It's been a few years since we switched to Canvas so I don't remember everything I used to do with pattern match, but one thing I used it for was to account for common misspellings, so by including [ab] in my string where the misspelling often occurs, the acceptable responses could contain either "a" or "b" in that position in the string and still be correct. For example, a common misspelling pattern among Spanish speakers is to confuse the letters "b" and "v" because they sound the same. Let's say I'm more concerned about just getting the verb right rather than spelling for this item. If my correct answer is, say, habló, meaning "he/she spoke", I could write ha[bv]ló as my correct answers and it would accept habló as well as the incorrect havló. That's just one example. I found it very useful in Blackboard.
@sandman Not sure this addresses your concerns 100% but if you choose "Close Enough" in the new quiz engine, there is an option to ignore case as just a checkbox like you are requesting. There are times where case does matter, for example our world language faculty count it as it is not always just for proper nouns.
I love the quiz but several times an ad or something gets in the way, and a different answer , not mine, has been selected. I don't know why. I use a stylus and am very careful!!! It should have been an "A"!!!!!
Children begin learning the alphabet at around age two. By age four, they may be able to spell simple words. It is upon this foundation that a chid's verbal education, and education in general, can succeed. Practice in spelling and reading exercises are keys to this success.
