Spelling Training

 

The website Spelling training (https://www.spellingtraining.com/) is another great resource to practice spelling at home. There are so many great ways to practice spelling on this website.

To start you can enter your own spelling list or choose from one of their pre-made ones. The ones that they offer are sorted by grade level and broken down into different spelling rules. There are hundreds of pre-made lists on the site but if you do not find one that you like, you can always make your own list.

Here is what the drop-down menu looks like and all you have to do is click on whatever sleeping rule you would like to practice and it will make the list for you.











Once a spelling list is set up there are a wide variety of activities to do with the words. When you scroll down the page you see this menu of activity options:
