Create a spelling test that reads Fourth Grade spelling words out loud to my students
Use Spelling Test Buddy to convert any Fourth Grade word list below into a self-guided online spelling test. Students hear the word pronounced aloud, along with a sentence that places it in context.
The word and sentence can be replayed with separate play buttons before a student types an answer. This offers consistent pronunciation and lets students complete tests or practice more independently. Select one of our Fourth Grade lists or create a custom list based on what you are teaching. Students can continue practicing through Teach Me, Digital Sorts, and spelling games.
