5th Grade Spelling Words and PDF
The 5th grade is the last year of elementary school. Its 300 spelling words are from everyday life, with frequency only under the previous grade. Children should catch them before entering middle school. We show them in eight sub-lists alphabetically too. The page also has other vocabularies for 5th graders, such as academic words, reading words, and sight words. Most of the lists have handy tools to practice online or offline.

Spelling Words 
The 5th-grade spelling words are widespread in daily life, like those of 4th grade. Children should own the 1800 most common spelling words when leaving elementary school. These words can cover 90 percent of generic writing requirements. (The first 1000 actually are sight words.)
Like 4th grade, we organize all words of the 5th grade alphabetically into eight sub-lists. It gives convenience to find and review them. It is possibly a challenge for some 5th graders to learn hundreds of words from a boring list. So we develop some online and offline practice tools, such as interactive spelling.
Besides online cards and exercises, we offer many PDF worksheets, like fill-in and word match. Because spelling is a job done by hand, printable worksheets play an essential role in helping children build necessary spelling skills.
