Basic common word messy spelling
This version of the game focuses on spelling high-frequency words. Listen to the word from the speaker then spell it using the puddles. You can click or tap the speaker to repeat the word.
Use the buttons at the bottom to switch the puddle 'keyboard' between QWERTY and ABCDE.
In the teacher bar, use 'Further activities settings' to select a bank of words from the ‘High frequency word recognition’ section.
Teaching tips:
For younger children, use the word in a sentence so they understand the meaning. For older children, assess their understanding of word meanings by asking them to say or write the word in a sentence.
With older children, assess their understanding of word meanings by asking them to say or write the word in a sentence.
