Word Bank of “No Excuse” Words for Writing
“No Excuse” words are those for which students are held accountable—students are aiming to spell these words correctly in their everyday writing.
The following words are taken from the list of core high-frequency words from the Rebecca Sitton Spelling Program. These are the groups of words which we hope students will master by the end of their grade level. Spelling is both a developmental and highly individualized skill so not all classes or all children will have the same number of priority words at any given time.
Please support your child at home and help them work towards mastering these words in their daily writing.
