British Spelling Worksheets

This is a British spelling book in A4 for children aged 7 to 11. It covers words like colour, centre, travelling, organise, catalogue and skilful, in 12 units of 10 words, 120 in all. A unit runs over six pages. First comes the rule, then Look, cover, write, check, then Missing letters and Fix the word, then Sentences, and the last page is a test that an adult reads aloud from the key. Even the example sentences are British, with mum, maths and lorry in them. A script scanned each page of the finished PDF for American spellings and rejected them. The -ise form is used throughout, so one ending is used. The back pages list every word by unit. It comes as an A4 file only and has no US Letter version.

Questions

Does it follow the National Curriculum?

It was not written to any curriculum and has not been matched to one. Ages 7 to 11 is a rough guide.

Is there a US Letter file?

No, A4 only.

Why -ise and not the other ending?

This set uses one form throughout, so a child sees one spelling.

Where are the answers?

After the worksheets, in the same order. The rule and Look, cover, write, check pages have no key.

Can I use it with a class?

The licence is for personal use, so one family or one child.

Printer and paper are not included. These are practice pages, not lesson plans and not a reading test. They make no promise about results. Digital files cannot be returned once downloaded; if a file does not open or a link is broken, send a message through Etsy. License: for your personal use only. No resale or sharing of this file. AI helped write the rules, the sentences, the choice of words, the listing text, the how-to text and the code that builds this file. Scripts tested: every page for American spellings, that each list word differs from its American form, that each missing-letters pattern fits one word only, that each scramble has the same letters as its word, and that a key equals its page plus green. A second AI pass filled in the sentences without seeing the key, and its answers were compared with the key. No person is claimed to have checked it unless stated here.
