We get a lot of requests for spelling games. And we know a lot about spelling games. So why not write a post about spelling games?
Without further ado, Zoodles’ favorite spelling sites!
Spelling City
Spelling City* describes itself as “a new and innovative interactive educational site used to help children of all ages improve their spelling skills and expand their vocabulary.” The power of Spelling City* lies behind its ability to take custom spelling lists from parents and teachers, and turn them into fun, interactive games that help students learn those words.
Between the Lions
Between the Lions* is a PBS kids show that encourages kids to “get wild about reading.” Partially funded by the U.S. Department of Education, the show follows a family of lions – Theo, Cleo, Lionel and Leona – as they run a magical library where words take on a life of their own.
Word World
WordWorld* calls itself “the first preschool series where words are truly the stars of the show!” Using a map navigation format, your child can visit different characters in their environments and practice developing literary skills one at a time, rather than all at once.
Read Write Think
Started in 2002, ReadWriteThink.org* was created through a partnership between the International Reading Association, the National Council of Teachers of English, and the Verizon Foundation. Their goal is to provide parents and educators with free games, tools, and activities that will not only enhance kids’ reading ability, but their love for books and written expression.
Starfall
Starfall* is an independent site dedicated to helping children read, and have fun while doing it. The site hosts hundreds of early reading games and activities that engage kids while helping develop key literacy skills. These skills include letter recognition, phonics, spelling, and reading comprehension.
*This superific spelling site can of course be found within the Zoodles browser. Get it now!
