Grade word banks

Twelve grade banks, 300 words each. Start where your child feels comfortable. Rounds use new words; repeat a bank only when you choose. Grade labels are flexible practice guides, not placement tests.

How these word banks were built

Original practice selections organized around phonics, syllables, spelling conventions, roots, affixes, and academic vocabulary. Informed by public K–12 word-study standards; these are not a publisher’s complete spelling curriculum.
