Differentiation

Differentiated spellings and word puzzles are available here for all terms.

August 2016

Differentiation

Some existing Spellzoo users have asked for differentiated spellings to help support students with additional needs.  Working in consultation with various schools we have produced differentiated spelling lists and activities. The weekly spellings still follow the English National Curriculum, but have five words to learn and space has been left for spellings from the student's own IEP or key word list.  The Term 1 spelling lists and word puzzles will be available shortly.  The four simplified activities available will be Word Shapes, Wordsearch, Word Jumbles (anagrams with definitions) and Own Sentences. 

July 2016

Invoice

Schools will automatically receive an invoice, if choosing to pay by BACS, or by cheque, which is normally payable within 30 days.  However, because many schools are now closed for summer break, payment can be delayed until the beginning of the new term.  Resources will still be available to download on receipt of an email containing the links, usually within one day.

The spellings and resources have been updated, with definitions now included in the Year 1 Word puzzles and two extra pages of spellings for Year 6 and Year 4.
