Make spelling practice easier to plan with a full year of third grade spelling lists! This 12-page printable PDF includes four weekly lists for every month of the year, with 12 words per week. Each list focuses on a phonics or spelling pattern, with seasonal flavor woven into the word choices.
Whether you teach in an elementary classroom or homeschool your child, this resource provides an organized, easy-to-reference collection of spelling words for instruction, review, and practice.
 
WHAT’S INCLUDED:
• 12 printable pages—one for each month
• Four weekly spelling lists per page
• 48 weekly lists with 12 words each
• A student name line on every page
• Monthly headings and decorative icons
• Weekly phonics or spelling pattern focuses
• Seasonal word choices throughout the year
 
PATTERN-BASED SPELLING PRACTICE
Help students notice connections among words as they practice short and long vowels, consonant blends and digraphs, vowel teams, r-controlled vowels, prefixes, suffixes, plurals, contractions, and more.
For example, October’s lists focus on words ending in -ful, -ed, -ly, and -ing, with words that connect to fall activities and celebrations. Grouping words by pattern gives students opportunities to discuss how words are built and apply those patterns in their writing.
 
USEFUL FOR CLASSROOM TEACHERS
Keep a month of spelling words together on one student page! Send the list home, place it in a spelling notebook or homework folder, or use it as a reference during weekly lessons.
 
Use these lists for:
• Weekly spelling instruction and review
• Spelling homework and take-home practice
• Literacy centers and independent practice
• Word sorts and word-building activities
• Sentence writing and vocabulary discussions
• Partner spelling practice and games such as Sparkle
• Weekly spelling checks
• Summer review
 
USEFUL FOR HOMESCHOOL FAMILIES
Give your third grader a clear spelling focus each week without creating a new word list from scratch. Use the words for oral spelling, handwriting practice, dictation, word sorting, or short writing activities. The monthly format makes it easy to keep upcoming words handy and adjust the pace to your child’s needs.
 
FLEXIBLE THROUGHOUT THE YEAR
Use the monthly sequence as provided, select lists that match your current instruction, or revisit patterns that need extra practice. With all 12 months included, the resource supports school-year spelling practice and continued learning during the summer.
