Lesson 29 Spelling, Grade 7: Spelling and Pronunciation*

The following hangman activity is based on your spelling list, but the hints for the activity have all been written in code. You can write words in code by leaving out all the vowels in a word, and then substituting the next letter in the alphabet for each letter that remains in the word. For example, word becomes xse if you drop the o and replace w with x, r with s, and d with e. Write or guess the spelling word in the activity below.

Words taken from *Elements of Language, First Course, CD ROM "One-Stop Planner" (Holt, Rinehart, and Winston, 2000).
