    Weekly Checklist for Teachers

    We know how busy teachers are on a weekly basis!  We have prepared a StepsWeb Weekly Checklist to ensure your students are on-track to becoming confident readers and spellers throughout the year.

    By checking these aspects weekly, you will ensure that problems are identified and addressed.  It's important to remember StepsWeb is not intended to replace your teaching! It's intended to support your teaching and make it more efficient and effective.

    Custom Wordlists

    Custom Wordlists are a fantastic resource. You can use all the tools provided to you by StepsWeb, but you get to choose the content.  Below is what you will need to create a custom wordlist:

    1.  Go to Custom Wordlists.

    2.  Click 'Create List'.

    3.  Enter your words.  If the word isn't already on StepsWeb, you can quickly and easily record it.  You can even add images!

    4.  StepsWeb will then create a whole range of online and printable resources for your wordlist.

    5. It's as easy as that. Now you can assign your wordlist to the class and get teaching!
    StepsWeb is all about optimising learning and with Custom Wordlists you can reinforce and support your students' learning across the curriculum. Be creative and mix it up a little!

    Custom Wordlist Ideas

    Teaching the solar system?  Make a wordlist so they can learn about the planets.  Teaching maths?  Create a wordlist so they understand the difference between addition and subtraction. The scope is huge!  Here are some ideas below:

    Meet the Teachers

    It can be daunting for children to start at a new school, or a new year group.  StepsWeb is about optimising learning, so making a Custom Wordlist to remind students or familiarise them with who their teachers are is an effective and fun solution.

    School Facilities

    It's important that students know what building is the library, or where to go if they are feeling unwell.  Just like Meet the Teachers, you could create a Custom Wordlist to help students understand how to navigate your school.

    Involve the Students

    Children love seeing themselves depicted in their learning - Using your students' pictures for Custom Wordlists will improve your student engagement.
