A wonderful website to suit all your spelling needs!
You can either type your own words to practice, or choose a list from a huge assortment of spelling lists. The lists are organized by themes and by grades, so you can easily find one that suits your needs.
As you type each word, you will immediately hear its pronunciation. This way you can also learn how to pronounce each word correctly.
Finding the misspelled words and correcting them
Suitable for: 3rd, 4th and 5th graders
Start by choosing the difficulty level (easy or hard).
In every trial four words will be displayed. One word will be spelled wrong. Locate that word, and put a checkmark next to it.
Then, spell that word correctly inside the text box, and click the "Check it!" button to get feedback and proceed to the next trial with four new words.
If you checked the wrong word, it will tell you to try again. If you checked the correct word but didn't spell it correctly, it will show you the right way to do it and you will proceed on to the next trial.
Fill in the missing letters in the incomplete words
Suitable for: 3rd and 4th graders.
This is a fast paced underwater racing game. Start by choosing your animal to race with.
An incomplete word will appear in the box on the top left corner. Type the missing letter in the box under it, and hit the "Enter" key.
Every correct answer will drive your animal forward closer to the finish line. Every wrong answer will boost ahead your opponents.
If you succeed to reach the finish line first, you will advance to the next level, which presents harder words.

On this page you will find several games that help students practice their spelling skills.
The exercises run from kindergarten all the way up to eighth grade, for the Spelling Bee game. Many of these are hearing-based - the program reads the word to the student, who listens to the sounds and types out the letters they hear.
The games intended for younger children (pre-school and 1st grade), such as Dog’s Letter Pit, may skip the typing entirely and have students drag the letters that they hear.
These activities are fun and effective additions to any language arts curriculum. The wide variety of online spelling activities presented here promises an appropriately challenging exercise for students of 2nd and 3rd grade, at any level of skill!
