ChartKidA spelling pack for the week
Most schools send home a list on Monday and test on Friday. This page turns that list into something to do each evening, so the words get five short visits instead of one long one.
The five-day plan
- Monday — Trace. First look at the words. Trace, trace, write.
- Tuesday — Copy. Look, cover, write, twice.
- Wednesday — Missing letters. The first sheet that asks the child to remember rather than copy.
- Thursday — Word search or scramble. A puzzle, not a chore, that still passes the eyes over every word.
- Friday — Test sheet. You read the words, they write them on the numbered lines, you mark it together from the answer key.
Print it once
All the sheets ticked above come out as one PDF, in order. Print it on Sunday, staple it, and the week is organised. The answer key is the last page; keep it or let an older child mark their own test.
Keep the title useful
Put the week or the spelling pattern in the list title ("Week 6 — ough words") and it prints at the top of every sheet. By half term you'll have a pile that's easy to look back through before a bigger test.
Siblings with different lists
Make one pack per child; each takes under a minute. Put the child's name in the name field and it prints on every sheet so the packs don't get mixed up.
If the list changes
Some schools adjust lists mid-week. Paste the new list, tick only the remaining days' sheets and print just those. "Shuffle the puzzles" gives a fresh word search if the child has already seen this one.
