What this sheet practices

Errors worth watching for
- Spelling 'they' as 'thay' by over-applying the sound rule.
- Skipping words because they look too easy.
How to use it
- Set the difficulty. Easy narrows the range; challenge adds missing values or extra steps.

About this generator
Is this the same as the pre-primer list?
No. This is the next Dolch level, with 52 words that build on the first 40.
Can I use my own spelling list instead?
Yes. The custom word list tool accepts up to 30 of your own words.
Can I print this worksheet on A4 paper?
Yes. Switch Paper to A4 in the settings panel. The layout recalculates the page height and keeps 0.5-inch margins, so nothing is cut off.
Is an answer key included?
The generator always produces an answer key and worked solutions. They are part of the pass; the student sheet can be previewed and printed for free.
