Proofread Sentences for Spelling

Written by Adi Ackerman, Head Teacher

"Proofread Sentences for Spelling" is written for 6th Grade (Ages 11-12), and it covers Common Core L.6.2.B. If your student is a year younger but already steady on spelling, the page still works. You may just need to read the instructions out loud. And if they are older and identify correct spelling never quite stuck, this is a short review rather than busywork.

What does this worksheet teach?

Fix 18 misspelled words in 12 sentences, from nieghbor to restarant. The directions on the page read: Each sentence has 1 or 2 misspelled words, 18 in all. The number in parentheses tells how many. Cross out each misspelled word and write it correctly above. An answer key is included.

Can I use this identify correct spelling 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 identify correct spelling. In class it runs well as independent work while you pull a small group. Print one copy or thirty, whichever the day needs.

⌄

Proofread Sentences for Spelling has 18, the paragraph and the science report have 10 each and the email has 12, including 2 confused words.

What are confused words?

What rules does the review sheet cover?

⌄

Spelling Review of Six Rules covers doubling, drop e, y to i, ie or ei, able or ible and plurals. Students write the letter of the rule for each of 18 words.
