Adding to the Topic Word Lists

Doorway Speller does not have a facility allowing users to add their own words. However, users within Scottish Borders can add their own lists by sending them to pwhittaker@scotborders.gov.uk.

Why not send in a list of topic words before you start a new topic. Let pupils practise spelling these words. Get some good spellers in the class to research the words you are going to come across in the topic. You should have fewer spelling errors during the run of the topic.

It is important to make sure that you send the words in the correct format;

  1. The list should start with the name of the list
  2. The items in the list follow
  3. All items in the list are separated by a comma
  4. There are no spaces
  5. If you are sending more than one list, send them in the same document, not as separate documents

Here's an example of how to send two lists in one document or email;

Reptiles,snake,lizard,tortoise,turtle,chameleon,crocodile,
alligator,terrapin,gecko

 

Birds,sparrow,cuckoo,partridge,kingfisher,pheasant,
woodpecker,peacock,pigeon,eagle,chaffinch
