Complete words borrowed from French, such as silhouette and chauffeur, and match their meanings. Many English words came from French and kept French spellings, such as silent final letters and vowel groups that make one sound. The directions on the page read: Write the missing letters to spell each word correctly. Then write the letter of its meaning in the Letter box. An answer key is included.
Can I use this commonly misspelled words worksheet for homeschool or classroom?
⌄
Yes, both. We made it for 7th grade spelling, and it works the same at home or at school. At home, a student can work through it alone and then go over it with you, which shows quickly what is solid and what needs another look. In class it works as independent practice, homework or a warm-up, and you can print one copy or a full set.
