The website Education.com (https://www.education.com/games/spelling/) offers a lot of great resources and games for all subjects. Since this is a spelling blog I will highlight the different spelling games that they have to offer.





When you press the link about you will see the page with all of the spelling games that looks like this:




This page has all of the spelling games that they have to offer. You can either look through those games or sort the games using the menu on the left side. You can sort the games by grade level, spelling strategies (which includes sight words) and spelling patterns (there are so many!!).

Welcome to my spelling blog! Here you will find a variety of resources to help your child with their spelling at home. You will be able to find everything from videos to games to other online resources here. Although we use some of these resources in our classroom there are many more here to provide different practice at home. Spelling is an important foundational skill for your child's writing. Although there are a lot of good resources on this blog, reading with your child every day will help improve their vocabulary and spelling by exposing them to lots of words. Here is a great article that helps to explain why spelling is important and how it helps to support reading:  http://www.readingrockets.org/article/how-spelling-supports-reading . If you have any questions do not hesitate to post in the comments and I will respond. I also want to encourage you to interact in the comment section with myself and other parents.
