Interactive Spelling Bee

Interactive Spelling Bee

This set of activities is like an old-fashioned Spelling Bee.

Contestants -- that's you! -- in grades 1-8 will listen to three stories, one at a time, and then spell words from each story. Students in high school will listen to separate sentences and then spell the words from each sentence.

If you get stumped, you can click to hear a word again, as many times as you need to. If you're in grade three or higher, you can ask for a definition too. Since words often make more sense when they are attached to an idea, all the words in the story or sentences are in context.

Review the words, hear the audio, and SPELL the missing words. Make sure to check your SPELLING carefully, since your results will be calculated at the end.

Depending on the speed of your computer and internet connection, you may experience brief delays.

Crytoquote

Crytoquote

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to uncover the mystery quotation by cracking the secret code. The quote has been encoded using single letter substitution - this means that each letter of the alphabet has been replaced by a different letter or a number. For examples and more information on how to crack these sorts of codes, click on 'INSTRUCTIONS' while playing the game.

Each week, all the encoded quotes will be from a single author or work. Type who or what you think that author or work is in the input box above for a place on the weekly chart.

Visual Dictionary Online

I have a visual learner.    I can explain it all day, but until he sees what I am talking about he just can't understand.    My son is blessed with my Daddy's photographic memory.    When he sees things and reads them, he remembers them.   What a gift!   It is one that I did not receive.   

We love their games of the week.    Play by associating words with images. It’s a great way to build your vocabulary or test your knowledge.  Here is an example of a recent game:
