Spelling Activities
The following is a list of spelling activities that students can
complete to help them practice their spelling words at home.
1. Write your spelling words in
alphabetical order.
2. Write each spelling word without its
vowels. Replace each vowel with a line.
4. Write your spelling words in crayon
or pen. Write each consonant letter in red and each vowel in blue.
5. Write the words and cross out all of
silent letters.
6. Print each word. Next to it,
write the word in cursive.
7. Make a set of flashcards for studying
your words.
8. Write each spelling word three times.

10. Write your spelling words as
fractions based on the number of vowels and consonants in each word. (Click

scrambled up. Then ask a parent or sibling to unscramble the words in your
notebook. Correct that person’s work.
12. Write each spelling word. Next
to each word, write two additional words of at least three letters that can be
spelled using the letters in the word. Example: the word pickle can be used to make the words lick,
pick, like, and lip.

code. (Use the Secret Code Key)
Challenge a parent or sibling to use the code to decode each word. Correct their
work. Example: glad= 7-12-1-4
15. Spelling Math: Which spelling word has the highest value? Which
word has the lowest value? Do any words have an equal value? (Use the
secret code to find a numeric value for each letter.)

Correct spelling and grammar count!
