1 ELEMENTARY SPELLING LIST FOR GRADES K-5 These four sets of words (925 in total), grouped by approximate difficulty level, should account for 80-90% of the running words students use in their writing. Students should know all or most of these words by the end of grade five. They should also know most of their derived or inflected forms (run, running) and the 100 demons (frequently misspelled words). For the sake of the end-of-the year benchmark, grade five students should know at least 800 of the 925 words plus 80 of the 100 demons.
