About this worksheet

Fourth graders meet many words that cannot be spelled by sound alone, such as friend, because, library and Wednesday. On this sheet each row shows three spellings of one word, and your child circles the one that looks right. Every sheet uses fifteen different words, and the six versions share almost none, so a child who prints all six sees about ninety of the words grade 4 writing uses most.

Ask your child to say each word, picture it, and then check the answer key.

What your child will learn

  • Pick the right spelling of a common grade 4 word
  • Notice letters you cannot hear, such as the i in friend
  • Tell a real spelling from a spelling that follows the sound
  • Check spelling against a model

Common Core standard: L.4.2.D

Worked example

Row: freind friend frend. The word is friend: the i comes before the e, and the d is at the end.

Common mistake

Choosing the spelling that matches how the word sounds, such as frend for friend or becuase for because.

Helpful hint

Say the word slowly, picture it in a book, and check each letter you cannot hear.
