3 Word Lists for April 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 to try in April: 

  1. Easter Vocabulary

    April this year means Easter holidays! If you need a break from all the chocolate, why not spend some time testing yourself on these Easter vocabulary words? You can even practise them in our Easter Egg Hunt spelling game. 

    Learn some eggy idioms for Easter here and about the words ‘chicken’ and ‘egg’ here. 
     
  2. Words with Doubled Letters

    Our second word list this month is based around a spelling rule. 

    When a word ends in a short vowel and one consonant, we must double the consonant when adding a vowel suffix. 

    Test yourself on this spelling rule using the Words with Doubled Letters spelling list and learn more about suffixes Unit 9.
     
  3. Characters in A Midsummer Night´s Dream

    While we don’t know the exact date of William Shakespeare’s birthday, he was baptised on April 26th 1564. Scholars believe he was probably born on April 23rd, and so every year, on this date, people in the United Kingdom mark Shakespeare Day. You can learn more about how Shakespeare influenced the English language here. 

    Practise spelling the names of characters from A Midsummer Night’s Dream here and find more Shakespeare-themed word lists here.

One of the students has put in a huge amount of effort in completing Spellzone at least 3 times a week since his arrival with us in January. Looking at his scores after the latest GL testing, his standardised score has risen from 99 to 131. This is a truly phenomenal result. I just wanted to share the best result I have ever seen.
