Spelling words for 6th grade: long academic words of the kind met in science and history lessons, with several syllables, doubled consonants and endings that are easy to mix up, such as -ible and -able or -ance and -ence. Many are words a child understands when reading but has rarely had to write.
The spelling bee list holds the harder words a school or regional bee asks at this age, many of them borrowed from Latin and Greek. Every word opens its own page with a recording and a meaning, and the practice buttons read a set of words at the same level aloud to spell.
