How do I use the 24 Words List for English and Language Arts (ELA) students?
Every week, introduce a new list of 24 words to your students. This list should include words that are phonetically diverse, meaning they should have a mix of simple and more complex words to challenge students.
You can use the 24 Words List for flash cards, or to generate sound sort, pattern sort, and other similar activities.
For each day of the week, assign a different set of worksheets to help your students practice spelling the words. You can use the worksheets we provide at Worksheet Creator, or create your own.
On the last day of the week, quiz your students on the words they learned that week. Spelling Test Buddy is a free tool to allow you to create spelling tests for your students, organize students into groups, and track their progress over time.

Sound sort and pattern sort are activities that help students practice spelling by grouping words that sound the same or follow the same pattern. These are recommended in Words Their Way by Bear, et. al., and Orton-Gillingham based programs.
Why are spelling tests used in elementary school?
Learning spelling is an important part of English and Language Arts (ELA), and is a critical component of Science of Reading. An increasing body of research indicates that a research-based spelling curriculum assists children in developing Phonemic Awareness (PA) and phonics skills, which contributes to reading and writing fluency later in life. Learning to spell helps children read and write more effectively.
Breaking down thousands of critical words into smaller chunks of 24 words helps upper elementary and early middle school students practice and master spelling words one at a time.
