Terrible Tuesday

Mistaken Spelling Fun
Good spellers can write words different ways to find the right way. This fun practice helps you learn the many different ways “sounds” are spelled in English while helping you learn the correct pattern for each of your words.

Directions:
Choose five different words (the base words are different) from your spelling list. Write each word correctly twice. Then write each word in as many different ways as it could be spelled phonetically, but isn’t. Box in the correct words. This exercise helps you learn all the possible spellings so you can learn to pick the correct one. Use a dictionary, if necessary.

Examples:

Exercise exercise exorsise exorsize exersighze
Certain certain sertin sertun surtin scurtin
Forcible forcible forsible forsable phorsable phorscabel ghorscible
Efficient efficient ephishant uphishant eghitiant ephiciant
Leaf leaf leef leiphe lleaphe ife leif
