"Pretend to Be the Teacher: Correct a Spelling List" is a worksheet that lets students pretend to be the teacher! Each page contains 20 spelling words that a pretend student wrote. They have to put a checkmark next to words that are spelled correctly and rewrite them on the line. They put an X next to the words that are spelled incorrectly and spell them correctly on the line.

Each page includes directions that enable students to complete the worksheet independently. Each page also features a hint that tells students how many words are spelled incorrectly so they can double-check their work as they go.

Practicing spelling is the best way to learn how to spell words. Asking students to spell words that are read aloud, like having spelling tests, is a good way to learn, but it can also be effective to let students see words and identify whether or not they are spelled correctly.

Activities could include correcting a pretend spelling list or exchanging spelling tests with other students and correcting them. Having students correct spelling words in sentences or a paragraph can give them practice in a real-life setting. Word finds can be a fun way to practice spelling, especially if the words are spelled incorrectly at the bottom of the page, and students have to find the correct spelling in the word search.
