Irregularly Spelled Words is an engaging and creative language arts worksheet designed to help students identify correct spellings of commonly misspelled words. This interactive and printable worksheet presents a visually appealing gumball machine filled with "gumballs," each containing a word. Students are tasked with coloring in only the gumballs that display the correct spelling of words, challenging them to distinguish between proper and improper spellings.
The worksheet features a mix of regularly and irregularly spelled words, including common troublemakers like "enough," "does," "said," and "because." By presenting both correct and incorrect spellings side by side, the activity encourages students to critically examine each word and make informed decisions about its spelling. The exercise not only reinforces proper spelling but also helps students become more aware of common spelling pitfalls. As an added learning opportunity, the worksheet suggests that students may use a dictionary to check their work after completion, promoting independent verification and research skills.
