The following is a list of free resources to help with teaching your kids spelling and vocabulary.
Did you know you can also use free AI tools like ChatGPT to create your own activities tailored to your own child? For example, paste your spelling words into ChatGPT and ask it to generate riddles (appropriate to the age or grade level) with the spelling words as the answers. Or give ChatGPT a list of vocabulary words, tell it to write an original story using the words, and then generate an exercise with reading comprehension or fill-in-the blank questions. (Read about some more stuff homeschoolers can do with free AI tools).
