Fill your word lists from our 420+ premade lists



Edited on 21 January 2025

Every teacher focused on differentiated spelling has had the experience of searching for words that fit the specific lesson and grade level.

This frequently requires you to search through Google, Teachers Pay Teachers, ChatGPT, or your specific spelling system’s texts. Often at night or on the weekend, when you have limited time.

And, worse, once you’ve found the list of words you want to use to reinforce the lesson, you then have to spend time formatting them into worksheets.

Who has time for that?

You can now find pre-made spelling lists in Spelling Test Buddy!
