How to get the most from these worksheets

A few things worth knowing before you print a stack of them.

Scrambling tests spelling, not reading

To unscramble a word a child has to hold its spelling in mind and test arrangements against it. That is a genuinely different exercise from reading the word, and it exposes spellings that look secure but are not.

A jumble is never accidentally the answer

Short words can easily shuffle back into themselves. Each word is re-shuffled until it differs from the answer, so no question is unanswerable.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use my own spelling words?

Yes, choose My own words and paste your list, one per line.

Can I make it easier?

Switch on the first-letter hint, the word bank, or both.

Are letters shown spaced out?

By default, which is easier for young children to read. You can switch to joined or dashed.
