This blog is being used by Alexandra to study English and to learn a bit about blogging. For VocabularySpellingCity, we have happily donated a free summer membership to her to help her learn English and to see how useful our site is for ESL (English as a second language).
I'm involved with VocabularySpellingCity. My first observation when I look at the summer assignments for her (which can be found inside the folder on this page) is that they are mostly taken from different teaching resources on VocabularySpellingCity.
For instance, the first day's assignment was High Frequency Words. This is taken from a teacher resource on sight or high frequency or dolch words (different names for much the same thing).
The second assignment is on nouns and places with words such as: home, school, library, farm, bank, mall etc. Here's a question, are these vocabulary lists useful for building English skills?
The third assignment is short vowel sounds. This list derives from the teaching resource on beginning spelling curriculum.
So, I'd like to know which of these lists she finds the most useful to her learning English and which ones are not so useful?
