Popwords! is a free app for iPhone/iPod and iPad for practising vocabulary and spelling. There are four different ways to play the game – Classic, Practice, Puzzle and Daily Puzzle.

I use these for handwriting practice. [click to continue…]

These could be recorded in a copy or personal dictionary or the teacher could encourage pupils to use them in an oral sentence during the day. [click to continue…]
