1. Visit []. 2. Click "Register" at the top right of the screen. Fill out your information. 3. After clicking "I am a teacher," click the blue link underneath to find your school. 4. After you are in the system, it will try to sell you a premium membership. Say "No Thanks" and you can continue. 5. You need to confirm your email address.

7. Search for "mrfrostspelling" for spelling words and "mrfrostvocab" for vocabulary words. You will need to change the search term from 'teacher name' to 'username.' See the picture below.


 * NOTE - //These spelling and vocab lists from Mr. Frost were taken directly from the Storytown program. If you use challenge/bonus words in your classroom, they are not included. It's possible that another member of your grade level has created lists with these extra words. Try searching for them. If their lists are public, you will be able to import them into your class. I'd recommend emailing the person whose list you are importing to check on accuracy and thank them for their hard work!// **

8. Click the red arrow to the left of your grade level spelling list. Next to each lesson, you will see an **import** link. Click the import links for the lessons that you want. They will be copied to your account.



9. If you want to check and see which lists you have in your account, click on "List Management" in the top, right area of the page (in the Teacher Toolbox).

10. Once you have lists under your teacher name, you can direct students to them. Students should visit [] and click on "find a list." Students can search by your name, username, etc. If you use your website, you can link directly to your page in Spelling City.
