Here is everything you need for a differentiated spelling program (except the words!) This download includes two sets of worksheets - one for 16 words and one for 20 words.
The bulk of this packet is made up of 42 spelling worksheets that can be used with any list. These worksheets can be chosen and assigned by you or you could allow students to choose which activities they would like to do - a Weekly Spelling Choices sheet is included for this. Another option is to laminate the pages and use them at centers.
These will print out great in color or in grayscale.
This download includes the following:
-40 differentiated spelling worksheets (see free preview for more information)
-2 homework activity sheets, which include another 14 spelling activities
-1 Weekly Spelling Choice Sheet
-2 pages to use for pre and post spelling tests.
These activities are designed to be used with teacher or curriculum generated weekly spelling lists. The worksheets and activities can be used many times throughout the year and most of them will work well with any list of spelling words.
Some of the worksheets cover the basics (writing sentences, dividing into syllables, prefix/suffix, alphabetical order etc.) while others require some logic or creative thinking (scrambles, codes, patterns etc.). They will work well both in class, or as homework and are sure to be a big hit with your students.
They will work well for you if:
- You design your own spelling lessons/lists
- You want extra practice or enrichment to add to your spelling curriculum
- Your students have individual, differentiated spelling lists or you have several spelling levels.
This file actually includes 4 total documents of 48 pages each. Word files are included so that you can edit as needed:
-Spelling Activities for 16 Words (Word Format)
-Spelling Activities for 16 Words (PDF Format)
-Spelling Activities for 20 Words (Word Format)
-Spelling Activities for 20 Words (PDF Format)
Zipped files should open automatically when you download them. If for some reason they don't, just email me at rachellynette@gmail.com and I will be happy to email you the documents directly.
The Free Preview shows examples of both formats, however, the thumbnails show only examples of the 16 word format.

Great worksheets if you have your own spelling lists! I did have to spend some time adding more lines to each one because I use 20 spelling words and the lists only have 16. But it didn't take too long and now I have them set for my needs. Thanks for having these available!!!

This is a fabulous tool to mix up the weekly spelling homework . I am not a text book lover and am always looking for ways to supplement and make things more exciting! These are some great ideas to make Spelling more fun! Thanks!
August 20, 2007
This is absolutely my favorite author on this site. I have downloaded all of her work with no regret. My students have a lot of fun with these activities especially the spelling codes. One mistake on the codes. There are two codes for "L" but it can be changed on your compuer.
April 21, 2007
Thank you! I really appreciate your kind words, and your catch on the error. I have FIXED the boo-boo and there are no longer two "L"s for future downloads.
April 21, 2007
WOW! I love this unit!! I am going to be using it a lot!!! Thank You! Well worth the money!
February 2, 2007
I have done the exact types of spelling practice with my more advanced second grade students on a regular basis. I just haven't created general sheets for plugging in individual words lists. Great idea to have them all in one file. I have also used the homework ideas for weekly homework, however, I could add some to your list. Keep creating!

Help
Hi Rachel,
thank you for posting so many free samples. I was wondering where the directions are for the Free Boogle game? No sure how to set this up.

Hi there!
Do you know if it is possible once I download this product if I will be able to add for my 20 word spelling lists? Thank you!
September 26, 2009
Yep, you can edit all the pages, but a few may be a little tricky to fit all 20 words on - may have to make the font a little smaller.
September 26, 2009
Hi Rachel! I noticed this product was on the 'top seller' list on TpT! Congrats! Here's my question: Approximately how many of these have you sold? I'm just trying to get a feel for what it takes to be on this list! Thanks again!

My passion is creating high quality, ready-to-use teaching resources. I believe our future depends on our children being able to think creatively and critically, so I incorporate higher level thinking skills into almost everything I create.
Most of my experience is in gifted education grades 1-4. But I have also taught regular education to all elementary grade levels. I've taught workshops on writing and have had extensive experience teaching elementary science as well as technology.
I have also written a series of 6 creative and critical thinking books for Evan-Moor as well as several other books of teacher materials.
In addition, I am a published author of over 100 nonfiction books for children on a variety of subjects.
You can see the books I've written here:

I am also the author of several blogs:
Minds in Bloom
(FacilitatingCreative and Critical Thinking Skills)
"Quotes" for Teachers
(An organized collection of quotes to use in your classroom)
I am also an administrator on:
