Fourth Grade Spelling Test Review Cheat Sheet
- Master common prefixes - Unlock the power of prefixes like "un-," "re-," and "dis-" to flip the meaning of base words and supercharge your vocabulary. For example, adding "un-" to "happy" instantly creates "unhappy," showing the opposite emotion. Experiment by mixing and matching prefixes with new words to become a decoding pro!

- Learn handy suffixes - Discover how endings like "-ful," "-less," and "-ness" tweak a word's meaning and part of speech. Turning "help" into "helpful" shows you're full of aid, while "helpless" means the opposite. Try swapping suffixes on familiar words to see how meanings morph in fun ways. Mr. Greg's Spelling List
- Practice long vowel patterns - Vowel teams such as "ea" in "teacher" and the silent "e" in "complete" guide how words sound and look. Spotting these patterns makes reading smoother and spelling simpler. Read words out loud, then write them in a mini-story to lock in each long-vowel rule. Mr. Greg's Spelling List
- Memorize high-frequency words - Words like "answer," "believe," and "enough" show up everywhere in reading and writing. Flashcards, quick-write drills, and daily challenge quizzes help you nail these essential terms. Race a friend or set a timer to see how many you can spell correctly in a minute! Mr. Greg's Spelling List
- Understand the "i before e" rule - Remember "i before e except after c," as in "receive" versus "believe," but watch out for rule-breakers like "weird" and "seize." Keep a growing list of exceptions and invent a catchy mnemonic to recall them. A quick-reference cheat sheet will save you from tricky spelling traps! Power Spelling 4th Grade Words
- Spot irregular spellings - English has its rebels - words like "island" and "friend" refuse to follow the usual phonics rules. Learning these exceptions is like discovering hidden treasures in a word map. Write each oddball word in a silly sentence or draw a doodle to make it stick! Mr. Greg's Spelling List
- Study Latin & Greek roots - Roots like "photo" (light) and "tele" (far) form the building blocks of countless words. By breaking new vocabulary into these chunks, you become a linguistic detective, decoding meanings at a glance. Turn root collection into a game by matching roots to words around you! Mr. Greg's Spelling List
- Learn the doubling rule - When a one-syllable word ends in a consonant after a short vowel, double that final consonant before adding a suffix (run → running). This trick keeps the vowel sound crisp and clear. Craft mini-stories loaded with these "double" words to make the rule stick like glue. Mr. Greg's Spelling List
- Practice the "drop the e" rule - Add a vowel-starting suffix to a word ending in silent "e," and you drop the "e" (hope → hoping). It's an easy-peasy rule with only a few rebels. Create a two-column list of dropped vs. kept "e" words and quiz yourself daily for spelling success. Mr. Greg's Spelling List
- Use spelling games & activities - Learning turbocharges when it's fun, so dive into crosswords, word searches, and online spelling races. Apps and printable worksheets turn practice into play, making tricky words stick in your brain. Host a game-show - style spin-off with friends for extra giggles and reward points!
