Spelling Practice Worksheets

These new spelling practice worksheets use a unique format that allows kids to write commonly misspelled words again and again, without becoming bored!  In fact, all over this site, you'll find a wide variety of fun formats to keep your learners engaged. 

On this page, students must write one letter in each blank to correctly spell each tricky word. I've included two pages at slightly different degrees of difficulty. 

Write It Right!

Printable Worksheet & Answers

(As always, be sure to print and review this page before assigning it to your students. This way, you can be sure the difficulty level is appropriate for your students.)

Ideas for extending this activity

1. Ask students to make pages like this for three spelling words that are challenging to them. Then ask kids to swap pages and complete each other's worksheets.

2. Every week or two, make pages like this for the entire class of the most difficult words on their spelling lists or from subject area texts.
