How do you test spellings?
Good spelling study habits include:
- Create a regular schedule for practicing spelling.
- Write down spelling words and keep the list with other study materials.
- Keep copies of old spelling lists in a special notebook.
- Ask questions about the meaning of a word or why it’s spelled the way it is if you don’t understand.
What is a spelling test called?
There are generally four types of spelling tests. In an oral spelling test, the teacher pronounces each word out loud and the students write each word down. In a spelling bee-type test (see spelling bee below), each student is asked individually one-at-a-time to spell a (different) specific word out loud.

Do schools still do spelling tests?
Most schools and teachers continue to regard spelling as an integral part of any educational curriculum. Because of these expectations, almost every elementary school in America teaches and assesses their students’ spelling abilities (Fresch, 2003; Graham et al, 2008; McNeill & Kirk, 2013).
What is wrong with spelling tests?
This, I believe, is why spelling tests have gotten a bad reputation. This way of learning words does NOT work for many students. They simply memorize the words for the spelling test and then promptly forget them. They don’t learn about patterns in words or how to generalize those patterns to spell other, similar words.
