These 70 spelling bee words fit 3rd and 4th grade bees. They include silent letters (island, scissors, knuckle), tricky vowel spellings (height, neighbor, weight, receipt), double letters (balloon, address, umbrella) and long favorites like February, kangaroo, dinosaur and chocolate.

Print the list and practice ten words a day with the generator's test activity, which prints numbered lines and a pronouncer script in a shuffled order. These are Edulist's own practice words; use your school's official list if your bee provides one.

Tips for using it

  • Group words with silent letters together and say the 'secret' letter aloud while practicing.
  • February: practice pronouncing the first r, then spell it.
