Common questions

What do Year 7 students learn about spelling?

Spelling lists and patterns by year level. At Year 7, our resources focus on: spelling frequently misspelt words correctly; using New Zealand spelling (-our, -ise); using memory tricks (mnemonics) for tricky letters; writing words from dictation.

Where should we start?

Start with the Level 1 or Level 2 worksheet, then move up a level. Finish with the topic test if there is one.

Are answers included?

Yes — every worksheet has an answer sheet. Maths answer sheets show the working; English tasks include model answers or success criteria.

How to use these resources

  1. Monday: read and copy the words. Wednesday: fill-the-gap and sentences. Friday: test.
  2. Say the word, say the sounds, write the word, check.
  3. Keep a 'tricky words' list for the ones that keep slipping.
