What does this worksheet teach?
⌄
Fix misspellings caused by unstressed vowels, such as mathamatics and catagory, in sentences. In an unstressed syllable, a vowel often sounds like a soft "uh," so you cannot tell which vowel to write just by listening. The directions on the page read: One word in each sentence is misspelled. Cross it out and write it correctly above. 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.
