The new word lists not only provide you with more options when ‘Setting work using published courses’ but also an invaluable aid when preparing your ‘Own word lists’.
Sentence games to put words in context:
The lists are a mixture of easier and more challenging words to spell. They have been built around the sentences that accompany these lists in the ‘Sentence crossword’ game to give the words meaning in context. For this reason, the Sentence game is as much a part of the course as the reading and spelling games because it links in with the concepts being taught in each subject.
The crosswords automatically give the sentence; you no longer click on the clue. The idea is that a student chooses the correct word from knowledge not by guessing from the number of letters in the clue.
Worksheets are now available as word searches and crosswords:
To create a worksheet click on Games & Lists > change course, choose unit/list (or search for a specific word to find a list). When you select the list and it opens to the games screen. Either select Word Search to play word search game or Sentence Crossword for the crossword then when the game opens select worksheet. Read more at Printable Worksheets
