Seventh Grade Spelling Curriculum Sequence

Seventh-grade spelling students are expected to be able to spell derivatives correctly by applying the spellings of bases and affixes. For example, CAPITAL with the -TION ending becomes CAPITALIZATION, and MATERIAL with the -ISM ending becomes MATERIALISM. Seventh-grade spelling words contain many of these derivatives so students should be comfortable and familiar with them. Also, seventh-grade spelling students will continue to learn commonly misspelled words such as ACCELERATE, MANEUVER, and SCHOLASTIC.

Children learn through various spelling activities that include many creative methods that make the seventh-grade spelling program fun for them. Remember, every child learns at a different rate, so what works for some students, may not be the correct approach for your child. This is why so many parents enjoy Time4Learning’s self-paced, modularized lesson plans. You can skip lessons that teach concepts your child has already mastered and repeat those he or she has not. The choice is yours.
