Hi everyone, Thank you so much to everyone who has visited my blog, shared my resources and spread the word about my blog! What started as a small lockdown project in 2020 with just a few views each month has now expanded to over a 1000 visits per month, which is really exciting! I often receive many requests to edit my resources. Unfortunately, with the restrictions on Bloggler I can only upload resources via Google Docs, which makes access to 'edit' documents a bit tricky, as it would mean everyone could edit at the same time. If anyone knows a solution to this, I would be really grateful for ideas 😀 Whilst, I will do my best to respond to you, I currently do not have a lot of time to answer all the requests due to my current work commitments. However, you can find the majority of my resources on the website ISLcollective under the name of Squeen , with the options to download and edit as you wish. You can access my materials here: English ESL worksheets, activities for d

You begin by entering your own list of 5 or 10 words (or more) and have three options.  The first is Test Me.  Using test me you can play the sound of the word and hear it in context in a sentence (this seems to work surprisingly well given the words are chosen by the user).  You type in the word and the spelling is checked.  You are given a score although not told the correct spelling of any error but encouraged to try the Teach Me tool.  Teach Me shows each word, lets you hear it, says it aloud letter by letter and the repeats the word.  Finally Play Game offers 8 games such as wordsearch, hangman, scrambled words and scrambled sentences using your word list.

Hi everyone, Thank you so much to everyone who has visited my blog, shared my resources and spread the word about my blog! What started as a small lockdown project in 2020 with just a few views each month has now expanded to over a 1000 visits per month, which is really exciting! I often receive many requests to edit my resources. Unfortunately, with the restrictions on Bloggler I can only upload resources via Google Docs, which makes access to 'edit' documents a bit tricky, as it would mean everyone could edit at the same time. If anyone knows a solution to this, I would be really grateful for ideas 😀 Whilst, I will do my best to respond to you, I currently do not have a lot of time to answer all the requests due to my current work commitments.

Charlotte says: "I use it to scaffold their understanding of the purpose of feedback, by modelling it and completing for them on one piece of work for them to action, then for them to complete on their own piece of work as a self assessment, and then when they are getting better at that, getting them to use it on another piece of work as a peer assessment. It is ideal for students who can read and are developing sentences. "
