Home Spelling Words can also be used for spelling bee practice and learning vocabulary. Create customized spelling lists as you need them. What makes this spelling website great is how flexible it is. For example, if you have a vocabulary list that you need to memorize from science class, simply enter the words and the definitions as the sentence. You can apply the same concept to history class, math class or any other subject. You can also integrate this program into your summer reading programs. Just check out books from the library and find words inside that your student needs to learn. Simply add those words to a list and your student is improving their spelling, vocabulary and reading all at once.
If you have a student with a weekly spelling test from school, you can add those lists to our program and have your student practice once a day until test day. By creating an account, you will only need to enter the spelling words only one time and they are saved in your account. Have your older students add their own words to their list which will give them another chance to learn their words for the week. In addition to that, your students can play fun spelling games online. We have many fun spelling activities to help your child learn and grow.
The source for definitions, parts of speech and languages of origin in this quiz was the Merriam-Webster Unabridged Dictionary, which is the official dictionary of the Scripps National Spelling Bee. For words that did not appear in the unabridged version, The Times referred to Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary. Some definitions have been condensed or edited for clarity.
The remainder of the week looked like us working together to practice the spelling words, she is the type of student and child who needed to take the reins on her own homework and decide how much work and effort she was going to put in. And in true fashion, she put in all of the effort and work possible.
She set up a time to type out the words on a computer to practice and asked us to quiz her once she felt like she had them down better. She practiced spelling them out loud and on paper and took the time to notice patterns within the different words. She worked really hard and put in a lot of effort to learn this new skill, and I was proud of her for this! She even worked extra hard on her bonus words, one of them being the word school, which is a tricky word to spell!
Hello.
For a school project I'm supposed to create a spelling test. Let me explain what I want to make. First, there is a textbox and the teacher has to type in all of the vocabulary words. Then, it will read the first word over and over in text to speech until you press a button. When you press the button, it goes to the next word. The process repeats until the last word, at that point a button appears which says check. When you press it, it checks all the spelling of the words and then shows which ones you got wrong.
This free spelling website acts like an online computer program, in which you can create your own spelling lists, and have word games with your own words.
All the games and the other educational interactive activities on this website are totally free!
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've been working on a SMITE name quiz since it starts to be a handful of gods and it's always fun to test if you can remember them all with only seeing the portrait. Or if are extra confident I've a Hardmode where you don't see any portrait and you are alone with only your toughs (oh god).

The WIST meets teachers' need for detailed information that can be used to identify the areas in which students are having difficulty with reading and/or spelling and to develop appropriate instructional interventions. It includes both norm-referenced and informal assessments. The WIST specifically targets those aspects of reading that are most important for the identification and treatment of poor and disabled readers.
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.
