Play these words in SpellKitty. On an iPhone or iPad with the app, open this list or scan the code, and the words go straight in. Without the app it opens a page that shows the list.

How to practice them

A few words at a time, a little every day. Say each word, use it in a sentence, then spell it out loud letter by letter. Go back to the ones that were missed first next time.

Using your child’s own list

If the school sends home a weekly list, type or paste those words into SpellKitty instead, up to thirty, with a meaning after a dash if you like. Your first list is free; more lists come with SpellKitty Pro. Opening a shared list is always free. Or make the list here and open it on the phone with a link or a code.

Other grades

These lists were written for this site. SpellKitty is independent and not affiliated with Scripps or any spelling bee organization.
