This 5th grade spelling worksheet practices unit 5, Latin roots port, rupt, dict and struct (export, portable, erupt, disrupt, predict, dictionary, construct, structure and more), with the look, say, cover, write, check routine. Your child reads the word, folds the paper along the dashed line to hide it, writes it from memory, checks it, and writes it once more.
Writing from memory is one of the most effective ways to practice spelling, because it's the same thing a test or real writing asks for. For variety, switch to the practice test, ABC order or sentence writing with the same unit, or choose any of the 16 units in the 5th grade list.
Tips for using it
- Before writing, say what the root means: port = carry, rupt = break, dict = say, struct = build.
- Only check off a word when it's right on the second write too.

Questions
What is look, say, cover, write, check?
A self-checking spelling routine: look at the word, say it, cover it, write it from memory and check it against the original.
Why learn Latin roots for spelling?
Roots keep their spelling across many words, so learning one root helps spell (and understand) dozens of words.
