Building a Spelling Test

Are you looking for another Spelling grade? Well, now is the time to build yourself some grades! Every time you accurately complete one of the activities listed on this page, you will receive 10 points. All of your Spelling words need to be spelled correctly in order to receive the 10 points! You can not choose the same activity twice in the same week. *Challenge yourself to see if you can complete each activity at least once before you do an activity twice! The points keep accumulating from week to week. After you have accumulated 100 points (there is no minimum each week, but there is a maximum of 4 activities per week), you will receive an extra Spelling test worth a 100.
