Free 6th Grade Spelling Lists Worksheets

3 free spelling lists resources for 6th Grade: 3 worksheets. Answers included.

Weekly spelling words with practice activities. 6th grade consolidates primary math: operations with fractions and decimals, percentages, integers, order of operations and probability.

Students will practice: spelling adjectives ending in -ous and -ious; linking -ous words to their base nouns (danger → dangerous); noticing how the ending changes the pronunciation of c and x (delicious, anxious); writing words from dictation; recognizing Greek roots (tele, scope, graph, bio, auto, photo, micro); recognizing Latin roots (port, spect, dict, vis); using a root's meaning to work out a new word; spelling practice and license the same way as a noun and a verb.

Common questions

What do 6th Grade students learn about spelling lists?

Weekly spelling words with practice activities. At 6th Grade, our resources focus on: spelling adjectives ending in -ous and -ious; linking -ous words to their base nouns (danger → dangerous); noticing how the ending changes the pronunciation of c and x (delicious, anxious); 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. Pair a reading comprehension with a writing prompt on a similar text type.
  2. Use the model answers and success criteria on the answer sheet to talk through what 'good' looks like.
  3. Keep spelling practice short and daily; test on Friday.
  4. Edit a piece of writing together using the grammar worksheet for the skill they're learning.
