But they contain a number of links to resources in many subject areas
which students in mainstream schooling will also find valuable.

Homeschool Help at Sassafrass Grove.

You might like to consider three other spelling sites:

(teenage to adult) who have spelling problems.
Marie's Free Spelling Course: offers a free, thirty unit spelling curriculum comprising
a weekly work plan, pre-tests, exercises, final tests and answer key. (USA)
The Spelling Blog is Johanna Stirling's rapidly-developing site with some interesting thoughts
about teaching spelling and a collection of free resources to download.
Spin and Spell is a neat interactive game which covers more than 200 commonly used words.
The site is ad-free and cost-free and requires no user ID, password, or registration.
The remaining sites, from all over the world, offer education resources and links.
The first click will often take you to the English language page. From there you
can browse around to find what is available in other subjects.
TES Teaching Resources The Times Educational Supplement site lists thousands of excellent resources for teachers of every school subject.
The Guardian Teacher Network has a rapidly-growing list of free teaching resources for all age groups and for all major subjects.
