Spelling City Login Information

Each 3rd grader has their own Spelling City account (www.spellingcity.com).  The login information is as follows:

User Name: first name followed by last name - no space in between (ex. benstone, aligrant, etc.)

There are 2 exceptions (aoifecg AND jalenjackson)

Password: reader (everyone has the same password)

I have also listed each student's User Name under the link located in the top box on my blog's home page (see 3rd Grade Spelling City Logins).

 

This week, each student created their own list and saved that list using their name.  In order to create a new list every week, the student must be logged in to the Teacher Account or the teacher can create each student's list.  Once the weekly list has been created and saved, the student can play all of the spelling games on the website using these words.  If you have any questions, please send me an email at:  cmiller@htsdc.org

Everyone has their own User Name and Password to login to Spelling City.  However, in order to create your list for the week, you must login to the Teacher account.  Therefore, we will always create your lists during class time.  You may use your student login from home and from school. 

User Names:  first name followed by last name - no space in between (ex. benstone, aligrant, etc.)
