List of 5th Grade Spelling Words for At-Home Practice

Where Can I Find 5th Grade Spelling Words?

Thanks to technology, several websites offer free spelling and vocabulary lists by grade that you can use at home. Not only do these websites provide word lists, but several also offer games and worksheets to guide your child's practice. Additionally, if your child is struggling with spelling words from class, many websites even have the functionality to create games based on the words you input. For example, you can take your son or daughter's weekly spelling list, enter the words on the website and a free word scramble will be created. If you'd rather not use a computer, bookstores and teaching supply stores typically carry curriculum books that can guide you.
