6. #5 - Spell With Flickr Spelling with Flickr This tool is very similar to Geo Greeting. The difference is in the images. This resource uses images posted to Flickr to create your word/phrase. The site provides you the ability to change individual images by clicking on them. This would be a good way to start a visual literacy unit. @dmantz7

11. #10 Mystery Word Games One of my pupils' favourite ways of practising spelling and improving visual recognition of words are our mystery word games: Game 1 - Invisible Ink Change the IWB background and pen colour to the same colour and then write one of the current words to be learned - children try to identify word just by watching the letter formation. Then change background to contrasting colour to reveal. Game 2 - Revelation Prepare a set of IWB slides with the words to be learned in a large font in the centre of the page. Set the blind/screen shade to cover all slides. Select a pupil to slowly reveal the word - choosing which direction to reveal from. This allows for letter by letter building (revealing from left or right) or whole word visualisation (revealing from top or bottom). I find this really helps those who were only focusing on seeing words as a left-right string to realise there were other ways of looking at words. @realllara
12. #11 Pivot Stickfigure A huge favourite in my class is creating the letters in pivot man and watching them appear on the screen. They predict the next letter and enjoy watching the letters form This is a free download for PC. @stephcamp
