INDEPENDENT SPELLING TESTS
Create independent spelling tests and dictation activities using Google Slides! Using the magic of Google Slides (and the audio recording feature on her computer), EL teacher Carmen Cuellar, assigns weekly spelling tests such as THIS ONE on Google Classroom. Complete with audio, the students are able to work at their own pace and complete the test without worrying about any audio issues, such as freezing, that we often find occur during live Zoom sessions. For a tutorial on how to create your own spelling test, or even dictation activities using Google Slides, click HERE.
