These 70 spelling bee words suit 1st and 2nd grade bees: familiar two-syllable words like basket, garden, pencil, rabbit and turtle, plus a few harder ones (because, people, laugh, again) that test sight word spelling. All are real words kids know from everyday life and books.
Print the list, then use Unit or group in the generator to practice ten words at a time as a test with a pronouncer script. For a first bee, start with words your child can read easily; spelling aloud is harder than writing.
Tips for using it
- Practice spelling aloud, slowly, saying each letter clearly.
- Let your child quiz you too; hearing the words spelled helps.
