Commonly Misspelled Words Task Cards

Description

It’s time to learn to spell these frequently misspelled words once and for all! Here are 40 chances to identify the correct spelling and write the word correctly in a fun task card format.

In addition to the 40 multiple choice cards, a cover card and three challenge cards are included. The challenge cards can be used with every other card in the set to reinforce the words. There are two student answer sheets; a half sheet requiring students to write just the letter of the answers and a whole sheet requiring students to write out the correct spelling of the words for extra practice.

These cards were made to be printed in color, but will print out fine in gray scale too. They should print out with even margins around the cards; however, because every printer is different, it is possible that you may need to adjust your printer settings. Selecting “actual size” or adjusting the size percentage should do the trick. Cut the cards apart using the dotted guidelines (discarding the bottom strip). Laminate if possible. Another option is to print on cardstock.
