Teach a Student to Spell: Level 3

Level 3 consists of 36 spelling lists of 12 words each. The spelling lists are based on the most common words in English and various sight word lists. The first goal of Level 3 is to teach more spellings of the most common English words and common free English bases. Each list reinforces the graphemes taught in Teach a Student to Read. Some complex words are also introduced. Related words are noted. The second goal of Level 3 is to teach more English suffixes and spelling rules. Level 3 also introduces prefixes and connecting vowels. Words from Level 1 and Level 2 sometimes appear in Level 3 to reinforce spelling rules with prefixes and suffixes. Level 3 introduces word sums that contain three or more morphemes.

Level 3 is recommended for ages 7 to 9 in second grade through third grade.

Corrections

On page 122, the text in the gray box contained two typos. The corrected text should read: “The suffix -ment forms an abstract noun from a verb and sometimes another noun or adjective. Because the suffix starts with a consonant, -ment does not replace a replaceable <e>. The
-ment suffix does cause the <y> grapheme to toggle with <i>.” The print and Kindle versions have been updated as of July 21, 2026.
