About Literacy & Vocabulary Tools
Vocabulary sticks when students meet words again and again in different ways. Paste one spelling or vocabulary list and turn it into 3D flashcards that read each word aloud, a printable word search, a crossword puzzle, a word scramble with hints, memory match cards or a hangman game. Turn sentences into unscramble-the-sentence practice, a reading passage into a fill-in-the-blank worksheet with a word bank, or any text into a word cloud. Graphic organizers like Venn diagrams, KWL charts and story maps print or fill on screen. Practice sight words with big flash cards, a quick check-off and a word wall, using a starter set or your own list. Give the weekly spelling test with words read aloud and letter-by-letter checking, and put a writing prompt on the board with sentence starters and a printable writing page.
For early readers, the word builder has movable letter tiles and word families like -at and -ig, and the letter tracing maker prints name, letter and word tracing pages on primary lines, in dotted print or cursive.

Do the flashcards read words aloud?
Yes. The Vocabulary Flashcard Maker reads each card aloud with a US English voice from your browser.
Can I make tracing pages with my students’ names?
Yes. The Handwriting & Letter Tracing Generator prints name, letter and word tracing worksheets in dotted print or cursive.
