Vocabulary Teaching Resources

I've been so wowed by the great teaching resources that are freely available on this siteVocabularySpellingCity not only features sentences for each of our 42,000+ words, we also feature vocabulary content, including definitions, parts of speech, synonyms and antonyms! We have introduced four new Premium Activities using this content: Vocabulary Test and MatchIt Definitions, both of which feature definitions; Parts of Speech, which guides students to select the correct part of speech of a given word as used in a sentence; and Word-O-Rama, an exciting word game show that features fill-in-the-blank sentences, definitions, synonyms and antonyms!
