Frequently Misspelled Words (6th grade - 8th grade) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781517109479)

This workbook contains 80 pages of help your students with frequently misspelled words. This workbook is divided into twenty lessons. Each lesson has 20 challenging words and four pages to choose from. One page has nine writing activities on the toughest and easiest words, shortest and longest words, new or interesting words, and using words in a question or exclamation or quotation. A second page allows students to create a word search and write a short story using the words. A third page has space for students to practice the words, or explain why they are frequently misspelled, or write sentences using the words (your choice). A fourth page directs students to practice the ten toughest words (thrice) and five easiest words (once), write three questions and three exclamations, and compose three silly sentences. All 400 words are research-based (studies on actual student writing and their errors). These are the words that middle-school students fail to master and continue to misspell in high school most frequently: amateur, leisure, brilliance, fictitious, foreign, twelfth, courageous, tyranny, embarrass, hierarchy, niece, restaurant, courteous, maneuver, achieve, height, rhyme, whether, and many more. If you teach middle school students and want them to get a leg up on the competition, then this workbook is what you need.Common Core Standards: ELA.6.L.2a and 7.L.2a and 8.L.2a
