Spelling List 28: Frequently Confused Words Worksheets for 4th Grade

What your child practices

Your child studies the 4th grade words for frequently confused words (Grade 4 in Canada) across 6 worksheets and 72 questions. By upper elementary, spelling depends on patterns, prefixes and suffixes as much as sounds, so each list groups words that share a pattern. Inside you will find Word Practice, ABC Order, Missing Letters, Unscramble, Fill in the Sentence and Spelling Test. Each sheet supports Common Core L.4.2d, covering capital letters, punctuation and spelling. It also touches L.4.1g, using grammar correctly in writing and speaking. In Canada it matches the BC curriculum for Grade 4. Each PDF includes its own answer key on page 2, ready for you or your child to check. After printing, the online version gives instant feedback and reads each question aloud.

Tips for parents

• Have your child mark the part of each word that is tricky, then practice just that part.
• Spread the sheets across the week: one a day works better than all at once.
• Finish the week with a short spelling test using the same words in a new order.
