What is on this spelling test template?
One page with a numbered line for each word, a column to tick correct answers, and lines for your child’s name, the date and the score. Choose the number of words, print it, read each word aloud while your child writes it on the matching line, then check the answers together.
How to give a spelling test at home
The template works with any list: the one the school sent home, a spelling bee list, or the words your child keeps missing.
- 1 Choose the number of lines that matches the list, then print the template.
- 2 Say each word clearly, use it in a short sentence if that helps, and say it once more.
- 3 Your child writes the word on the next numbered line, at their own pace.
- 4 Check each line against the list. Tick the correct ones and write the right spelling next to any that were missed.
- 5 Write the score at the top, and practice the missed words before the next test.

Ways to use the blank test paper
One sheet, several uses across the week.
Pretest at the start of the week
Test the new list on the first day, so you know which words need the most practice.
Practice test before test day
Run the whole list once more the evening before, in the same order as the school sheet or mixed up.
Retest the missed words
Print a short 10-line sheet for just the words that were wrong last time.
Let Snap Spell read the words
Photograph the list, start Practice Together and tap Auto Dictation while your child writes on the template: Snap Spell reads each word once, twice or three times, with 3 to 15 seconds to write before the next word, in the same order as the paper or shuffled. When the reading ends, Check Answers lets you mark each word right or wrong, and missed words come back in Tricky Words. To print a test sheet with the words and an answer key already filled in, paste the list into the free spelling test maker.
Questions about the spelling test template
How many lines should I print?
Match the list your child brings home. The template comes with 10, 15, 20 or 25 numbered lines, and a 10-line sheet suits a quick retest of missed words.
Can I print the test with the words already filled in?
Yes. Paste the list into the free spelling test maker on this site and print a numbered test sheet with an answer key, in your order or shuffled.
How fast should I read the words?
Give your child time to finish each word before the next one. In Snap Spell’s Auto Dictation you set this once: 3, 6, 10 or 15 seconds between words, with each word read up to three times.
Can my child take the test without me reading?
Yes. Auto Dictation reads the words while your child writes on the template, and you mark the answers afterwards in Check Answers.
Want the app to read the words?
Download Snap Spell, photograph the list, and let Auto Dictation read it while your child writes on the template.
