Come Learn Spellings—Free—150 spelling words for preschool, kindergarten, 1st and 2nd grade kids to learn

Come Learn Spellings contains groups of words organized by category, such as numbers, colors, fruits, vegetables, body parts, and more. Once a category is selected, the app shows a picture of a word for that category and immediately starts spelling it. Users can move to the next one word in the category by tapping the “right” arrow button or return to the previous word by tapping the “left” arrow button.

Instructional Ideas

1. For a word-study lesson, teachers can connect their iPad to a projector and show students the different words in a category. After each word, teachers can ask students to: (1) use the word in a sentence, (2) explain where they have seen the word before, or (3) define the word.
2. Teachers can assign students a spelling word list using this app. To do so, teachers can tell students and their parents which category and/or words will be included in the weekly spelling quiz. That way, parents and students can practice their spelling words at home in preparing for the quiz.
3. When learning a spelling word, teachers can have students view an entry. Next, they can discuss the image connected to the word in the entry. Discussion prompts include: (1) How does the image represent the word? (2) What about the image makes you think of the word? (3) If you were going to represent this word with a different image, what would that image be? After the discussion, teachers can have students draw a new picture that represents the word.
