With our Custom Assignment feature you can help support your students with their weekly spelling lists by uploading them in DoodleSpell!
To create your spelling list in DoodleSpell:
Login to the Teacher Dashboard and follow these steps:
Hover over Assignments and select Create custom
Ensure the DoodleSpell icon is selected in the top right hand corner of the page
Then select Create an assignment
Input your spelling list ensuring that you only put spaces between each word (no commas) or a new line per word. Don't capitalise the word unless you want it to appear capitalised in the app. Then select Save.
Once you have created and saved your Assignment you'll see your list appear with all other Custom Assignments created by teachers at your school.
To set your spelling list to a class/students:
Click on the name of the spelling list you have just created
Then select Assign
You'll then be able to choose the date you'd like the Assignment to appear and which class you'd like it to appear for
Then press Set assignment
The spelling list will then appear within the child's app on the chosen date. Children will have to complete 3 x practise before the test becomes unlocked.
To share your custom Assignment with other teachers within your school:
How DoodleSpell Assignments appear in the app for the student
When a DoodleSpell assignment is set, the student must complete a Practice exercise on the assigned words three times before the Test option becomes available. After that, they’ll have the option to complete a fourth Practice exercise before taking the Test.
Once the Test is completed, if another assignment has been set, the student will automatically move on to it.
The screenshot below shows a completed DoodleSpell assignment, including four Practice exercises and one Test exercise:
This means that if a student hasn't completed their previous assignment, they’ll be prompted to finish it before moving on to the next one. If you'd prefer to remove any previous, incomplete assignments, you can do so by following these steps.
