Description
Learners will join a weekly spelling lesson, where we will explore a different set of words each week.
During the 40 minute lesson, they will be introduced to the 10 weekly words before playing the online spelling game. They are playing a friendly competition, where they are rewarded for accuracy of the spelling and typing speed. There is friendly competition involved with the game, which proves very motivating for some learners. Other learners can find online competitions too stressful - so do please consider whether this style of learning suits your learner.
Learners will have access to the fun online game for the whole week that they have subscribed to, allowing them to practice their spellings throughout the week.
I am able to see how often your learner has logged in and accurately they are spelling the provided words.
IMPORTANT - Learners should have logged into the game at least once before the first lesson starts. This helps minimize technical challenges during the live game. I provide full instructions.
