3 Word Lists for June 2021

blog home

Did you know there are over a million word lists on Spellzone? Every word list can be used in a variety of online and offline activities – learn more about them here.

Here are 3 Word Lists for June: 

  1. Tier 2 Words (abandon - adults)

    We have recently added a bank of Tier 2 words to our Curriculum Word Lists page. 

    Tier 2 words are less common than high frequency words (Tier 1) and are often integral to the comprehension of exam questions or core subject knowledge. Find these lists here. 
     
  2. The long /oo/ sound

    For our spelling pattern word list this month, we’ve chosen to look at the long oo sound. You can hear the long oo sound in words like boot, cool, and spoon (but not in words with the short oo sound like book, foot, and look).

    Practise spelling words with the long oo sound here. 
     
  3. Coffee Drinks

    This month’s Word for Wednesday theme is coffee and we’ll be looking at the words espresso, cappuccino, macchiato, latte, and Americano. Learn to spell these coffee words and more here.

"Thank goodness for Spellzone during this remote learning phase. The site is easy for students to navigate independently and they're really enjoying the activities and spelling games. You get an awful lot for your money with Spellzone. Really reassuring is the very prompt response with helpdesk queries. I've very rarely needed the helpdesk, but when I have, the issue has been addressed and sorted within a very short time."
