June 2023 Round-up

Our 3 Word Lists for June 2023 were words ending in '-stle’, 10 Words for... SAD, and – to celebrate the summer solstice here in the Western hemisphere – Characters in A Midsummer Night´s Dream. Studying Shakespeare at school? We’ve got lots more word lists for you.
This month, we’ve also been busy adding word lists to our Characters from English Literature collection. Can’t find a list for a text you’re studying? Let us know!
At Spellzone, we are committed to creating an inclusive and accessible learning environment to ensure as many users as possible can engage with our resources. From customisable text formats to read-aloud options, these accessibility features allow students to adapt Spellzone to suit their individual learning needs.
An idiom is like a secret code: a phrase or expression that means something different to the literal words used. Idioms provide a wonderful opportunity to add creativity and flair to English, and in the first post of our newest blog segment, we share 18 idioms you can use to describe something that is super simple. Can you think of any others?
