Spelling List 15: Prefixes Pre, Re, Mis, Non, Sub Worksheets for 5th Grade

What your child practices

List 15 is a 5th grade spelling list (Grade 5 in Canada) built around prefixes pre, re, mis, non, sub, with 6 worksheets and 84 questions. By upper elementary, spelling depends on patterns, prefixes and suffixes as much as sounds, so each list groups words that share a pattern. The sheets cover Word Practice, ABC Order, Missing Letters, Unscramble, Fill in the Sentence and Spelling Test. Each sheet supports Common Core L.5.2e, covering capital letters, punctuation and spelling. It also touches L.5.4b, working out the meaning of unknown 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.
• Ask your child to sort the words by pattern and explain the rule they notice.
• Spread the sheets across the week: one a day works better than all at once.
