Commonly Misspelled 10th Grade Vocabulary Words


Tenth grade is an academic year in which most of the students have already developed strong vocabulary and writing skills. Tenth graders know when and where to use which specific word. Tenth graders do have a grip on the spoken and written content of English, but they often misspell words that are commonly and widely used. It is either because the pronunciation of a word is different than its spellings or because the students do not bother putting in the silent letters in a word while writing it. Another important cause of misspelled words is that the tenth graders do not write down everything they learn and when they have to write that content, they spell hard words wrong or with great difficulty. Given below are some short and long vocabulary words that are often misspelled by tenth graders:


Commonly Misspelled Short Vocabulary Words


No matter even if a word is short, many tenth graders can still misspell it if the pronunciation is hard or some letter in it is silent.
