Dd seems to really like doing a few sums / spellings online but has got a bit bored with the few websites I've found so far and I wondered if anyone could recommend any others?

It might be worth exploring the BBC Schoolswebsite

Also Education City is fab - worth the money imho. You can get a free trial period for 10 days which they keep extending if you don't subscribe for a while if you wanted to try it first. Then ask on the home ed forum if anyone has a 'tell a friend' code you can use to get a further 3m free.

to practice look say cover write check, this is a good one
www.bbc.co.uk/skillswise/words/spelling/waystolearn/lookcover/game.shtml

another LSCWC one is
www.amblesideprimary.com/ambleweb/lookcover/lookcover.html
this one lets you enter your own words, so she can practice her spelling words

www.crickweb.co.uk is another good site

www.mathszone.co.uk is great for maths activities

"practice her spelling words", tsk tsk!

Hope you don't teach spelling, Melissa

DS2 has been usingRoy the Zebrafor guided reading.

melissa75 · 31/01/2009 20:02

well Thomasandhisfriends, if you really have nothing better to do....good grief.

melissa75 · 31/01/2009 20:05

chippy...roy the zebra is another excellent site!

Thomasandhisfriends · 31/01/2009 20:58

Than roll about laughing at the irony of 'practice her spelling words'?!!
You need to get a sense of humour, Melissa!

I don't care how anybody spells anything! I'm just appreciating the wonderful sites I've been linked to. Thanks everyone!

You're a sad case, Thomas...

Thomasandhisfriends · 02/02/2009 21:05

Why, because I tried to laugh WITH a poster, and she reacted with venom? [Hmm]

melissa75 · 02/02/2009 21:20

Thanks imaginaryfriend...hope you get good use out of the site...Bullerbychildren...I entirely agree!
And Thomas...laughing WITH someone means the other person was laughing, there was no laughing going on on my part...I have reported your post to Mumsnet, because I think it is entirely disgusting, swearing is entirely unneccessary, and definately not acceptable....and I am not "your dear"...how patroniZing.

Thomasandhisfriends · 02/02/2009 21:25

Report away, I'm sure they will read your post to me first - you started on the personal attacks. Get over yourself, ffs.

Thomasandhisfriends · 02/02/2009 22:06

Bullerbychildren, I am genuinely baffled by your post. Did you actually read the post before mine before you stuck your size 9s in?

ramonaquimby · 02/02/2009 22:22

why do people feel the need to pick other posters up on their grammar/spelling/etc etc? I agree with buller and melissa.

step away from the keyboard!
