Frequently Misspelled Words (4th grade - 5th grade)

This workbook contains 80 pages to help your students with frequently misspelled words. There are twenty sets of weekly challenge words with four pages of practice for each lesson. Students list the toughest and easiest words, write the shortest and longest words, identify new or interesting words, use words in a question or exclamation or quotation, create a word search, write a short story using the spelling words, practice writing the words neatly, explain why certain words are frequently misspelled, write sentences using the words, and take a quiz (pretest and/or post-test) by choosing the correctly spelled word out of three options. By the end of the week, students will have a strong grasp of the spelling and natural usage of fifteen challenging words. Students will master 300 frequently misspelled words, like: marriage, shriek, disease, reign, chief, neighbor, guess, jewelry, weird, grateful, column, millionaire, pneumonia, because, sincerely, Wednesday, February, jealous, awesome, lightning, rhythm, government, honest and many more. Most of these words are repeated on numerous lists of frequently misspelled words (and some come from my 20 years of experience in the elementary classroom). Be the elementary teacher who prepares his/her students for middle school. Common Core Standards: ELA.4.RF.3a and 5.RF.3a
