This 7th grade spelling list has 12 units of 15 words. It covers Greek roots (chron, psych, path, phobia, phil), Latin roots (bene, mal, cred, fid), assimilated prefixes (accommodate, collaborate, suggest), -ance/-ence and -ible/-able, -ious and -eous, words borrowed from French (silhouette, rendezvous, camouflage), literature terms (protagonist, onomatopoeia) and science terms (photosynthesis, chromosome).

Print the year or choose a unit for worksheets and a test. Seventh graders benefit from learning why a spelling is odd: accommodate has two c's and two m's because ad- became ac- before com-.

Tips for using it

  • Teach literature and science words in the week they come up in class.
  • Use look-say-cover-write-check for the commonly misspelled unit.
