What's on every grade page

Each grade opens onto the same set of tools, built from that grade's own words.

The full word list

Every word for the grade, sorted into easy, medium and challenging so you can start at the right place.

Definitions and sentences

What each word means and how it is used, so practice builds vocabulary rather than just memory.

Practice quizzes

Hear the word read aloud, type the spelling, get instant feedback. No account, no sign-up.

Flashcards

Flip through the grade's words on screen, or print a set to cut out and take with you.

A printable PDF

The whole list on one clean, ad-free page — ready for the fridge, a folder or a classroom handout.

Spelling tips

The patterns and rules behind that grade's trickiest words, plus answers to the questions parents ask most.

How to use these lists

1

For classroom practice

Weekly spelling tests, a classroom bee, or vocabulary warm-ups — pull as many words as you need.

2

For competitions

Mix words across difficulty bands to build a round that stays fair as spellers drop out.

3

For home practice

Ten minutes a night with the printable list, then a quiz to see which words actually stuck.
