Where these fit in a term
The three worksheet sets are not interchangeable, and the order you use them in matters more than which one you pick. A rough shape for a fifteen-week course:
- Weeks 1–3. If any students are still uncertain with the Latin alphabet, run the beginner sheets with the two-letter-swap setting. It looks like a small task and it is, which is the point at the start of a course.
- Weeks 3–12. Use the ESL sheets as new vocabulary arrives, or better, paste each week's coursebook list into the scramble maker. Roughly twenty minutes each time, run as pair work.
- From week 6 onward. Start folding in revision sheets for sets taught two or three weeks earlier. This is the part most courses skip, and it is where vocabulary either becomes durable or quietly disappears.
- Weeks 13–15. Rerun the earliest revision sheets. Students compare their scores against the first attempt, which is far more convincing evidence of progress than a grade.
Nothing here needs to be taught in this order or at all. But a scramble used once as a Friday filler teaches very little, and the same activity run on a schedule teaches a surprising amount.
What this site will not do
Most word tools online are built for players who want to win a game, and their copy says so. That is a legitimate business, but it produces material that is useless in a classroom: no levels, no answer keys, no sense that a word has a meaning worth knowing.
The resources here take the opposite position. Every word carries a definition, a syllable break and a CEFR band, every worksheet carries a procedure, and where a label has not been verified against a published wordlist it says so rather than pretending.
