We have been researching a new website used for students to practice their spelling words.  The website is called http://www.spellingcity.com and has been recommended to us by other teachers in the diocese.  We have started uploading the students' words for each week that they all have in common.  If you want to find the list, you would use the "find a list" category and type in the name on the upper right hand side of your child's spelling list.  For example, our Week 10 list would be found under 10A/10B on the website.  Once you have found the list, your child can play games that use their words.  You can also register yourself and type in all sixteen words your child has chosen.
