How it works
- Type or paste the spellings, one per line or separated by commas.
- Name the list (for example “Week 5” or “Grade 2 ‑tion words”) so it prints on every page.
- Tick the activities and choose clear print.
- Download one PDF with every activity, then the answer sheets at the back.
Look, Say, Cover, Write, Check
Children look carefully at the word and say it, cover it by folding along the dashed line, write it from memory, then unfold and check it letter by letter. The sheet gives two tries per word, so a word spelt wrong the first time gets a second go straight away.
A week of spelling practice
One activity a day keeps practice short: tracing and writing on Monday, Look, Say, Cover, Write, Check on Tuesday, the scramble and alphabetical order mid-week, letter boxes as a quiet task, and the test on Friday. Your list is saved in this browser, so next week you only change the words.
In the MATATAG curriculum
- Grade 1Reading and Literacy: writing words legibly and correctly.
- Grade 2English: writing words legibly and correctly by word pattern, from CVC words to words with clusters.
- Grade 3Filipino: writing learned words neatly and correctly.
English spelling lists in Grade 2 follow the word patterns of each quarter: CVC words, then CVCe and CVVC, then clusters. Grouping a week’s words by one pattern makes Look, Say, Cover, Write, Check work much better.
Filipino words mostly spell as they sound, so Filipino lists are a good place to start the routine. Words with diphthongs and clusters, which the Filipino guide practises in Grades 2 and 3, make the best Filipino spelling words.
