Spelling it Right - Learn to Spell Confidently
Free printable worksheets, help and advice from an experienced English teacher.
- poor spelling creates a bad impression
- it's the first thing a reader notices
- examiners, teachers, prospective employers,
often place undue weight on spelling - anxiety about spelling inhibits a child's writing
especially their choice of words - even in these days of word processors there are
still times when we need to write
(It would be useful to print this page for future reference)
When you come across a new word ALWAYS use the
LOOK - THINK - COVER - WRITE - CHECK method to
memorize it.

- Over 42,000 spelling words and ten learning games!

- A Resources Section which highlights features and existing lists for Dolch words, compound words, sound-alikes (their, there, they're), contractions, possessives, and more.
Printable Handwriting Worksheets for combined spelling and handwriting practice can be created from any saved list (this feature only works if the list is saved). Choices includes three sizes of lines, capitals or small letters, script or cursive, and with directional arrows on or off. How cool is that?

"Associate yourself with men of good quality if you esteem your own reputation; for 'tis better to be alone than in bad company." ~ George Washington (1732 - 1799) US Statesman.
"A man [that hath] friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend [that] sticketh closer than a brother." ~ Proverbs 18:24
I like things to happen; and if they don't happen, I like to make them happen. ~ Sir Winston Churchill (1874 - 1965) British politician

FRACTION MANIPULATIVES
These printable fraction circles come in "two sizes, large and small. Choose the size that you want and, for durability, print these on card-stock. After printing them, roughly cut out the circles. Color the back of each circle a different color. This makes them easier to sort. Trim around the circles and then cut the circles into fractions. If you wish, you can write the name of the fraction on the back of each one. The front of each fraction has its name written four ways such as: 1/2 = one-half = 50% = 0.50.
