Congrats to our Awesome Members! We just added another week of warm-ups to your membership.
Your word study warm-ups just got bigger! You now have this fast-paced spelling activity: Speed Speller.
You’ll see it in your account or you can log in and jump straight to them here.

What’s in Speed Speller?
Students practice spelling patterns with instant audio and visual feedback. Each warm-up lasts for about 3 minutes.
Which Consonant Digraphs?
Students will practice single-syllable words with the following digraphs: ch, sh, th, ph, gh, wh, and kn.
Each day students will focus on two consonant digraphs at initial and final positions. Here are the words for the new Speed Speller warm-ups:

Which Short Vowels?
Students in 2nd and 3rd-grade should master short vowels with a high degree of automaticity for decoding and spelling.
Speed Speller will help build word knowledge with the spelling patterns found in the free word study unit: Spelling 1.
