Frequently asked questions
▸What spelling words should a Grade 6 student practise?
The multisyllabic academic vocabulary that fills their subject work — analysis, government, describe, necessary — plus words built from common roots and affixes. The Grade 6 band is drawn from exactly that everyday academic tier rather than from spelling-test trivia.
▸There's no answer key — how does my child check the words?
Trace and Write is a handwriting copy sheet, so the correct spelling is already printed at the start of every row: your student copies against that model and checks letter by letter. Unscramble prints a word bank above the jumbles and Use the Word in a Sentence prints the model word, so they need no key either; Choose the Correct Spelling prints the right spelling among its options without marking it, and Missing Letters does not print the whole correct word, so check both against a dictionary.
▸My child spells it 'emphasise', not 'emphasize' — is that marked wrong?
No. Both are correct English and we accept both. A handful of Grade 6 words are spelled differently in different countries — emphasize and emphasise, analyze and analyse — and where one lands on your sheet the instruction line at the top prints the pair, so whoever marks the sheet can see at a glance that either form counts. We do not pick a country's convention and mark the rest of the world wrong. The one exception is the Unscramble sheet, which leaves those words out altogether: a jumble is a fixed set of letters, so it cannot honestly offer a choice between a z and an s. Those words still appear on the other four Grade 6 sheets.
▸How many words make a good Grade 6 list?
Around eight to twelve. Academic words are long, so careful copying of a modest list beats rushing through a big one. Set the number on the word-count stepper to fit the time you have.
▸Can my whole class work from the same list?
Yes. The web address stores your exact worksheet, so sharing the link hands every student the identical sheet — handy for a common homework list or a fair weekly check. Shuffle then gives you a fresh selection at the same difficulty for a retest.
▸Do I need an account to make these worksheets?
No. Everything runs in your browser with nothing stored on a server, there is no sign-up or watermark, and you can print unlimited lists free — the link itself is the only save file.
