I am doing a spelling test for a year 9 class and they need difficult words so what words could I use?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

definitely... it is always spelt wrong

I taught Eighth Grade English for three years of five teaching. I learned early that spelling tests are a drudge for students. It is difficult to get their cooperation. So, I came up with a plan for getting their cooperation. I issued a list of commonly misspelled words at the beginning of every year (one can be found here, http:/www.yourdictionary.com/library/misspelled.html). It was the only list of words I issued. Every Monday first thing, I gave a spelling test using ten of the words from that list. This was the pretest. Those who scored 100% on the pretest were done for the week; that was their weekly spelling test grade. I gave a follow up test on Wednesdays. Those who scored above 75% could choose to take that grade or retake the test on Friday; however, those who chose to retake the test would be required to copy the words by hand fifteen times each and hand that in when they entered class on Friday. By the beginning of the second trimester, 90% of the students were scoring 100% on Monday pretests. by the beginning of the third trimester, that jumped to 95%. It varied each year slightly, but the results were similar.

To follow up:

  • Monday, pretest - those to score 100% were done for the week.
  • Wednesday, follow-up test - those who scored better than 75% could choose to take that grade, or retake the test Friday.
  • Friday, list of misspelled words copied 15 times each, and final follow-up test.

Additionally, the Freshman English teachers at the High School were so pleased with the results, they started following the same plan. Sophomore and higher level English teachers stopped giving spelling tests and were ecstatic that they were able to concentrate on vocabulary. The school district still uses this plan, as it was written into their curriculum.
