Word Study List Templates - with a Vocabulary Focus
A significant part of a middle and upper primary spelling program needs to focus not only on students learning to spell
words, but also that they develop a clear and comfortable understanding of word meanings. It is quite common for
students to be able to spell words however fail to understand their meanings and apply the words in their writing.
As the length of spelling lists increase, it can be difficult to find the time in spelling lessons for students to work
through the meaning related activities for all of their spelling words. These lists allow teachers to allocate some words
for vocabulary or semantic focus. Students learn to spell all the words on their list, but focus on a limited number for
semantic and vocabulary development.
