Boost your teen's spelling skills in a dynamic and engaging way with my Weekly Spelling Lessons! Each week, learners will dive into a fresh set of words, turning the boring chore of spelling lists into a fun and competitive game. These lessons are ideal for learners who find accurate spelling a challenge, and extra support or interventions are appropriate. ***Example words from the first 4 weeks are: ambitious, infectious, atrocious, conscious, official, special, essential, influential.*** Learners can join at any time. What to Expect: Duration: 40 minutes of interactive learning. Introduction: Each session begins with an etymology focus. We then explore the week's 10 spelling words - exploring syllables, phonemes and meaning. Engaging Game: Learners will then participate in an online spelling game designed to enhance both their spelling accuracy and typing speed. Friendly Competition: The game fosters a spirit of friendly competition, motivating learners to improve and excel. Flexible Practice: Access to the online game extends throughout the week, allowing daily practice. 'Little and often' is really the key to developing spelling skills. Preparation is Key: Ensure your child logs into the game at least once before our first session to avoid any technical hiccups. Detailed instructions will be provided to make this process smooth and easy. Practice: The most benefit comes from regular practice, so do please encourage your teen to log into the spelling game throughout the week (even just a few minutes a day can have a big impact). Examples of the spelling patterns we will look at: Week 1 - words ending in 'tious' and 'ious' Week 2 - words ending in 'cious' Week 3 - words ending 'cial' Week 4 - words ending with 'tial' Week 5 - words ending with 'cial' and 'tial' Week 6 - challenge words Week 7 - words ending with 'ant' Week 8 - words ending with 'ance' and 'ancy' Week 9 - words ending with 'ent' and 'ence' Week 10 - words ending with 'able' and 'ible' Week 11 - words ending with 'ably' and 'ibly' Week 12 - challenge words Week 13 - words ending with 'able' where the 'e' from the root word remains Week 14 - adverbs of time Week 15 - words where the root word ends in 'fer' Week 16 - words with silent first letters
Learning Goals
Enhanced Vocabulary and Spelling Proficiency
Improved Typing Skills
Other Details
Pre-Requisites
Learners will need to access an online game during the lesson. This will be a second window or tab. When played on a computer or laptop the game also supports the development of typing speed. It can be difficult to play on a phone.
Supply List
Learners will be provided with a log in to the online spelling game. For the week that they are enrolled, they can play the games online as often as they like. The game is far better on a computer or laptop. On a phone it can be fiddly to play. During the lesson, learners will access the game, for a live game with their classmates. They will use a different window or screen to do so. They should mute themselves whilst playing a live game.

👋 Hi there! I'm Ms. Riot, your certified and passionate educator with a flair for innovation and a heart for student growth. Hailing from London, England, I qualified as a teacher in 2007 with my Bachelor of Arts (with Honours) in Primary Education and certified with my Qualified Teacher Status (QTS). Here in the UK, I am certified to teach from 5-18 years old.
🌏I have taught around the world, including at a not-for-profit summer camp in New York, volunteering in Kenya and India, and completing a teaching placement in Arizona.
🏫As a classroom teacher, I developed creative classrooms where students felt safe enough to fail. My passion for reading also allowed me to develop a new career as a high school librarian, supporting teens who had not discovered that a library could be a space for them. I have also taught students English up to the age of 16 at a prestigious online school.
🖼️More recently, I have worked within the learning department in a large museum, teaching at a range of online schools and designing curriculum for education resource companies. I also deliver lectures to trainee teachers, supporting them to develop their practice.
🖥️I have been teaching online for a year, for different schools and platforms.
✨✨Ms Riot on Outschool✨✨
🌈I am passionate about helping teens strengthen core skills to succeed. This can often mean applying the content and skills often covered in lower-grade levels, allowing teens to develop skills and confidence by meeting them where they are.
🌈I focus on building confidence and foundational skills in a nurturing and empowering environment. I help teens master core concepts, overcome academic challenges, and develop a love for learning that extends beyond the classroom.
🌈At the heart of my teaching philosophy lies a belief that learning should be an adventure, sprinkled with curiosity. We can be serious about learning without it always being too serious.
🌈I am a teacher who welcomes all students exactly as they are. I have a lot of experience with neurodivergent children and am a neurodivergent adult myself. Cameras can be turned off if preferred (after a quick hello with the camera on).
🌈I create quite low-demand classroom experiences. I encourage and welcome participation, but am very quick to adapt to learners who are unable or unwilling to partake in an obvious and active manner. This can mean only using the chat, or even only listening.
