Engage your
students with VocabularySpellingCity while building word recognition,
providing multiple exposures to vocabulary, writing practice, and word
meanings.
Word recognition plays a critical role in reading fluency and comprehension.
- Patterns
Knowledge of letter patterns in words
provides students with clues for spelling. Engaging practice with
VocabularySpellingCity helps develop automatic recall.
- Decoding and Encoding
Reading is the process
of changing printed words into language (DECODING), while spelling is
the converse process of changing spoken words back to print (ENCODING).
Use of VocabularySpellingCity helps develop spelling skills to link
students' verbal and written language skills.
- Multisyllabic Words
VocabularySpellingCity offers language arts lessons and ready-made
lists of syllables, word roots, prefixes and suffixes that may be used
when teaching structural analysis.
Beginning spellers and struggling students
often require multiple exposures to words in order to learn to spell and
understand their meaning. Ongoing exposure and reinforcement aids long
term learning.
- Games and Activities
Students can study using online FlashCards, completing a crossword
puzzle, quizzing themselves in a game show format activity, or taking a
practice test on VocabularySpelingCity. More than 30 activities offer
immediate feedback, motivating students to keep studying.
- Words in Print
VocabularySpellingCity builds print awareness, helping students to
visually identify words. Most of our games have printable versions. You
may also print out handwriting worksheets of your word lists.
- Auditory
Words and sentences are read aloud on VocabularySpellingCity to help aid correct pronunciation and use in context.
- Writing Practice
Strong spelling skills allow writers to focus their effort on
generating ideas and expressing creativity, rather than struggling to
get their words on paper. VocabularySpellingCity includes writing
practice activities using their spelling and vocabulary words in
context.
Studying a word in depth helps to
ensure that students will be able to recognize it, spell it, define it,
and use the word appropriately in speech and writing.
- Words in Context
Learning new words by deriving meaning from context is an important
skill. Context is especially important when studying homophones and
multiple meaning words. VocabularySpellingCity helps students recognize
words in context by offering 60,000 ready-made sentences for over 50,000
that can be used in games and learning activities. Teachers and parents
have the option of adding their own sentences to customize the content
to fit their instruction.
- Words Parts and Their Meanings
Knowledge of
word parts such as prefixes, suffixes and roots, is helpful in the
development of spelling and vocabulary skills. VocabularySpellingCity
provides ready-made lists of prefixes and suffixes that can be imported
into your own account for your students' immediate use.
