Some of you already know that since 2019 we have worked really hard to make this product better. We just released a couple of new features, but this was one of the most requested ones. So, we are glad to release this feature. Let\u2019s quickly jump over the guide:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><h2><strong>Creating your own Spelling Tests and Spelling Exercises on spelling-test.com<\/strong><\/h2><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1-First thing first, you\u2019ll need to create an account and confirm your email address.<br>           a.You can create your free account <a href=\"https:\/\/spelling-test.com\/register\">from here<\/a>.<br>           b.You\u2019ll get a confirmation email to the email address you shared with us. Please confirm your email account from your email. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2- To verify your teacher account, please send an email to info @ spelling-test.com or use our <a href=\"https:\/\/spelling-test.com\/contact\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">contact form here<\/a>. We apologize for this extra step, but we\u2019ve had some bot attacks and need to protect our new system for now! Please write \u201cteacher confirmation\u201d in the subject line of the email and write \u201cPlease confirm my teacher account on spelling-test.com\u201d in the body. Sorry for the inconvenience. We will hopefully be able to do away with this in the future. We usually approve a request within 8 hours.

Your students will want to write it correctly.<\/li><li>Context: Context refers to the explanatory dictionary meaning. We get them from the major dictionaries.<\/li><li>Homophone\/Synonyms: Sometimes there is no synonym for the word. You can either write one or just put a comma (,) there.<\/li><li>Example: This one refers to the example sentence that the system reads after a word. During the first days of our project, we realized that without this example sentence the tests felt really weird.<\/li><li>Active? : Sometimes, you might want to activate or pause a keyword in a test. Not the most important feature but it is a useful one, especially if you want to give the same spelling exercise to your students with a couple of small changes.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>9- There is no word limit here on the edit pages. However, we suggest that considering your students\u2019 focus and time is a must for an effective lesson. We usually prefer 10-question spelling tests. But obviously, you know your students best.
