Prepare your students for NAPLAN Language Conventions assessments with a printable NAPLAN Spelling Reference List.
Build Stronger Spellers Using Our NAPLAN Spelling Reference List
Preparing students for the spelling portion of the NAPLAN assessment is essential for building their confidence and accuracy with increasingly difficult words. This NAPLAN Spelling Reference List supplies students with exposure to new and more complex spelling words, helping them acquire the skills they need to succeed. By regularly practising with words from our structured NAPLAN Spelling Reference List, students can boost their spelling knowledge, better recognise common spelling patterns, and improve their ability to identify spelling errors.
NAPLAN Word List – Differentiated Spelling Words
This comprehensive NAPLAN Word List resource includes four carefully crafted lists designed to support students in Years 3-7. Each list features a progression of word difficulty to ensure students are properly challenged. We have included the following NAPLAN Spelling Word Lists.
- Simple Words – High-frequency words students commonly encounter in early writing
- Common Words – Words that reinforce common spelling patterns and rules
- Difficult Words – More advanced words that require students to apply spelling strategies
- Challenging Words – Complex words to extend students’ spelling knowledge and vocabulary
With this resource, you can provide differentiated spelling words for different groups of students and help ensure that they are well-prepared for NAPLAN testing.
