These free spelling test templates give you 8 Word documents on A4 and US Letter: a 10-word spelling test, a 20-word spelling test, a weekly spelling practice sheet and spelling practice with sentences. I’m Patrick Elliott, a teacher and Inclusion Lead. Every week I give a spelling test, so these sheets have the layout I actually use: numbered lines, a score box and practice pages for the rest of the week.

In this guide, you’ll find which spelling sheet suits your week, how to type your spelling list into Word, and how to print the sheets at full size.

👉 The practice sheets have a pale yellow column for your word list: type the words once, then print a sheet for every child.


Which Spelling Sheet Should You Use?

  • 10-word spelling test: big write-in boxes and a score out of 10 for younger pupils.
  • 20-word spelling test: two columns of ten for longer weekly lists.
  • Weekly spelling practice: type 12 words, then children write each one three times.
  • Practice with sentences: children write each word and use it in a sentence to show its meaning.

How to Set Up a Weekly Spelling Test

  1. Open the weekly practice sheet and type this week’s words into the yellow column.
  2. Print one copy per child for homework or morning practice.
  3. At the end of the week, read the words aloud while children write them on the spelling test sheet.
  4. Mark the test and write the score in the box at the top.

For the classic UK method of learning spellings, use the Look Cover Write Check templates alongside your weekly test.


How to Print at the Right Size

Print the test and the practice sheet together each week, so pupils practise on the same words they will be tested on.


FAQs

Which spelling test should I choose?

10 words for younger children and 20 words for older pupils.

What are the practice sheets for?

Writing each word several times, or in a sentence, to learn it before the test.

Can I type my spelling list into the template?

Yes. Click in the yellow word column, type each word and press Tab or the Down Arrow to move on.

How many words should a spelling test have?

Many teachers use 10 words for younger pupils and 15 to 20 words for older children.

Can I use these for spelling homework?

Yes. Send the weekly practice sheet home with the words typed in, then test with the spelling test sheet.

Can children mark their own test?

Yes. Read the words out again and let children tick or correct them.


Conclusion

These spelling test templates cover weekly tests, practice and sentence work, human-made by a teacher and ready to fill in from Word.

I’m Patrick Elliott, the creator of Word Made Easy. I’ve worked in schools for over 10 years and I’m now an Inclusion Lead in the UAE. I use Microsoft Word and PowerPoint every day for planning, documentation and classroom resources.

Every guide is tested step by step before publishing (usually in Microsoft 365), and every free template is one I made myself in Word. You’ll also find practical walkthroughs on my YouTube channel.
