Yes. We made it for 1st Grade spelling lists, and it works the same at home or at school. Families print it for one child and keep it where they will use it every day. Teachers print a copy per student or one for the whole room, whichever the day needs.

10 words a week for 36 weeks, a full school year.

In phonics order, one pattern a week: short vowels and digraphs in weeks 1 to 12, blends, silent e and vowel teams in weeks 13 to 24, then r-controlled vowels, endings, compound words and contractions in weeks 25 to 36. The full-year file shows all 36 lists on three pages.

Yes. Every weekly page has the take-home list of 10 1st grade words at the top and a numbered spelling test below a cut line, ready for Friday.

Send the list home on Monday, practice the pattern in class during the week, and give the test on Friday. Keep a few minutes each day for reading and writing the words in sentences.
