Written by Adi Ackerman, Head Teacher

FAQ
How do I use this commonly misspelled words worksheet?
⌄
Use one set a week. Have students keep a list of any words they miss and practice those again before the next set.
What does this worksheet teach?
⌄
Fill missing letters in 15 words like privilege and committee, then spell 6 from memory. The directions on the page read: In Part A, write the missing letters to spell each word. Use the meaning to help you. In Part B, spell each word from memory. An answer key is included.
Can I use this commonly misspelled words worksheet for homeschool or classroom?
⌄
Yes, both. We made it for 6th Grade spelling, and the page works the same whether it lands on a kitchen table or a center rotation. At home, most families go through it together and talk the answers out loud, and that talking is where most of the learning happens with commonly misspelled words. In class it runs well as independent work while you pull a small group. Print one copy or thirty, whichever the day needs.
Which words are on these sheets?
⌄
They include because, separate, Wednesday, definitely, necessary, embarrass, accommodate, privilege, committee and guarantee.
How are the three sets different?
⌄
Set 1 copies each word twice and circles the tricky part. Set 2 picks the correct spelling out of three. Set 3 fills in missing letters from a meaning, then spells 6 words from memory.
Why circle the tricky part of a word?
⌄
It points students to the letters they are most likely to miss, like the double n in beginning or the ie in friend.
