The Basic Spelling Vocabulary List

By: Steve Graham, Karen R. Harris, Connie Loynachan

This list was created to help teachers know which spelling words should be taught to kids in grades 1–5. The list contains 850 words that account for 80 percent of the words children use in their writing — the ones they need to be able to spell correctly.

This list was devised to help educators know which spelling words should be taught to children. The list contains 850 words that account for 80 percent of the words children use in their writing — the ones they need to be able to spell correctly.

Mastering this relatively small corpus of words yields a high rate of return. For example, the most common 1,000 words are used 13 times more frequently than the next most common 1,000 words. It also provides teachers flexibility in planning spelling instruction, providing an opportunity to give children the "basics" while supplementing with other spelling words germane to classroom activities.

Grade level for each word was determined based upon difficulty, pattern of occurrence in children's writing across grades, and grade placement on current vocabulary lists and spelling materials.

Words that children have difficulty spelling correctly are marked with an asterisk.

Butterfly children lyrics (Text and lyrics)

Listen to pyrokinesis - Butterfly children

[Verse 1, Pyrokinesis]:
There is no heat anywhere,
It is blackening over the head
The slippers are already shining above it
But the limb is close,
And I'm pushing from these sweets
The ball spins the planets,
So the children of butterflies are born
To find the end (where?)
Everyone hangs nearby, and screams from illness
Who sang songs is crucified
Even the sky rots, and it seems
In mold spots
But capable of paws as well
Take the whole vast world
One little man
Hid everything to us, and burn your secret
He will reveal to everyone only then,
When he grows wings for himself
Forced, it hurt.
