Spelling List 11: Final Schwa Plus L Worksheets for 5th Grade

What your child practices

These 6 worksheets turn the final schwa plus l word list into 84 questions for 5th grade (Grade 5 in Canada). By upper elementary, spelling depends on patterns, prefixes and suffixes as much as sounds, so each list groups words that share a pattern. The set includes Word Practice, ABC Order, Missing Letters, Unscramble, Fill in the Sentence and Spelling Test. The skill matches Common Core L.5.2e, the standard for capital letters, punctuation and spelling. It also touches RF.5.3a, phonics and decoding words. In Canada it matches the BC curriculum for Grade 5. 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.
• Finish the week with a short spelling test using the same words in a new order.
• Say each word aloud, have your child spell it, then check together. Talk about the final schwa plus l pattern.
