Spelling Worksheets

This area will soon be full with full spelling lists and quizzes for each grade level. We are working with a team of curriculum developers to focus on the 400 most common words for each grade level. Spelling is much more than just making sure a few letters are strung together in the correct order. Spelling is understanding basic mechanics and patterns in words of the English language. There are some basic rules that we learn in elementary school. The most common rule is "I before E, except after C, unless it sounds like A. Does that ring a bell? There are thought to be just over a dozen general rules that give students the lay of the land. These worksheets will cover the spelling of common word lists for a wide array of grade levels.

Tips for Spelling Tough Words


As a student of language, everyone must know the correct spellings of all the words they use in their daily life. Not knowing the exactly correct spellings of tough words is an issue with most of the students regardless of the grade they study in and the kind of major they are taking up. Moreover, not being able to spell some of the most used tough words is a major obstacle in the way of many students' success. Here are some of the useful tips a student must keep in mind to spell tough words correctly and easily:


Try Memorizing the Spellings by Writing Them Down


While attempting to memorize the spellings of any tough word, the best way is to memorize them by writing the word down several times. Depending upon the complexity of the word and the efforts required to memorize its spellings, try writing the word from 50 to 100 times and even more if required. Memorizing the word's spellings this way helps one in remembering the word for a longer time.


Break Down the Word in Syllables


Whenever you are confused while spelling a tough word, try to break the word into smaller syllables and then spell the syllables one by one. A combination of the spellings of these smaller syllables usually enables you to spell the complete word correctly.


Try Using the Word Continuously


There is no use of learning and memorizing the spellings of tough words if you will forget them after a few weeks. To make sure that you will remember the word and its correct spellings, try to use it in your written activities wherever possible. Continuous usage of even the toughest words can make them seem easier with practice and use overtime.
