5th Grade Spelling Words

Our 5th Grade Spelling Words collection is for learners around ages 10–11 who are encountering more multisyllabic and academic vocabulary. Homeschoolers, afterschooling families, and caregivers will find vetted, secular word lists grouped by patterns, prefixes and suffixes, Greek and Latin roots, and content-area terms from science and social studies. Many resources draw on morphology and structured literacy, helping kids see how word parts support both spelling and meaning. Use the filters to sort by focus (roots and affixes, multisyllabic words, academic vocabulary, or review of tricky patterns), format (lists with activities, worksheets, or integrated programs), and learner needs such as dyslexia, dysgraphia, ADHD, or 2e. Families can use these spelling words alongside reading and writing to build a stronger language toolkit. If you’re unsure which lists match your fifth grader’s level—or how to avoid overwhelming them—Modulo’s AI learning concierge can recommend a right-sized spelling plan.
