Happy Leap Day!

Here’s our February Round-Up: 

- This month’s pair of Commonly Confused Words were complement and compliment. Not sure the difference? Click here for tips and tricks to help you tell them apart.

- With Valentine’s Day falling in the middle of the month, what word could we choose for our 10 Words feature but love? Whether you’re looking to describe romantic love, familial love, or platonic love; we’ve got the word for you. 

- This month we also returned to our Idioms series with a list of idioms about thought and memory. Can you think of any others? 

- Does Spring still feel too far away? Get yourself ready with our new Springtime Spelling game. Make sure you turn your sound on!

- Did you know that eight of our spelling games now have a multiplayer option? If you’re using Spellzone in a classroom, why not log in at the same time as a friend and try it out? 

- In this month’s Word for Wednesday blog posts we celebrated World Radio Day and International Mother Language Day. We looked at the connection between the word salary and the word salt. Finally, we looked at the history of the word idiom.

"Thank goodness for Spellzone during this remote learning phase. The site is easy for students to navigate independently and they're really enjoying the activities and spelling games. You get an awful lot for your money with Spellzone. Really reassuring is the very prompt response with helpdesk queries. I've very rarely needed the helpdesk, but when I have, the issue has been addressed and sorted within a very short time."
