Free Year 3 to 6 statutory spelling lists, with tests (PDF)

The national curriculum in England sets 100 words for Years 3 and 4 and 100 for Years 5 and 6 that every child should learn to spell. These are those lists, word for word and in the government’s order, from English Appendix 1: Spelling. Each year group is its own PDF: the list with a box to tick for each word, five look, say, cover, write, check pages of 20 words, and five tests.

Learn about ten words a week and tick a word once it’s right on a different day from when it was learnt. For a test, a grown-up reads out the set’s words from the back, in any order. Where the list gives more than one form, such as busy/business or accident(ally), the words to read out spell out every form.
