About These Grade 6 Spelling Words
There are 36 weeks of words, 16 words per week.
Of the 576 words, 96 of them are Fry words, and only 1 of them is a Dolch word.
By the end of 6th grade (having previously completed the spelling lists of grade 1 thru 5), your child will have learned the spellings of almost all 1000 Fry words and nearly all of the Dolch words, plus of course many other words.
Secular Spelling Lists
I say “nearly” and “almost” because these spelling lists are completely secular. So any words that were in any way religious were not used in these spelling lists.
Since everyone has different religious beliefs, please feel free to add whichever religious words are important to your student. The Fry words that were not included in these themed elementary spelling lists are: “God” and “church”. The Dolch nouns that were not used are “Christmas” and “Santa Claus”.
The themed lists of grade 6 spelling words can be downloaded free below.

I can’t access to print this one? Can you please help me?
Hi Jeaneca, if you want you can email me at [email protected] and I will email you back the pdf for you to print.

I may have used the wrong email to receive the spelling words
The pdf should open immediately once you enter your email address and click on “Join our community…”. From there you can save (download) the file directly to your computer or choose to print right away.
On a rare occasion someone might have difficulty downloading due to being behind a firewall (i.e. perhaps they are using a work computer and their work put certain restrictions in place). If this happens to someone I don’t mind emailing it to them directly, if they email me at [email protected].
Did it not open for you when you clicked on “Join our community….” ?
can you please email me?
