Fifth Grade Worksheets

...for fun, flexible spelling practice

These fifth grade worksheets offer valuable vocabulary and spelling practice in fun, open-ended situations.

On each page, you can assign the  words you want your students to practice. (Each student could actually use a different list, which is great for differentiation.) Or students can select the words of their choice.  Either way, by the time students  have completed each page, they will have had lots of practice in the correct spelling of these words!

Instructions:

• Write a list of 10 spelling words in the box on the right

#2  Fish Net

Instructions:

• Make a list of 10 spelling words in the box on the right.
