British Spelling Worksheets Ages 7 to 11, UK Word Lists, A4 Printable With Answers

British spelling practice for ages 7 to 11, in A4: colour, centre, travelling, organise, catalogue, skilful and more. There are 12 units of 10 words, 120 words in all, with 72 worksheet pages and 48 answer keys, 125 pages in all.

Each unit has six pages: the rule, Look, cover, write, check, Missing letters, Fix the word, Sentences and a test. An adult reads the test from the answer key.

Sentences use British words too, such as mum, maths and lorry.

A script read every page of the final file and rejected any American spelling, using a word list and spelling rules for word endings. The -ise form is used throughout. A word list at the back has all 120 words by unit.

COMPATIBILITY
Print PDF, A4 only (595 x 842 pt). There is no US Letter file. A script confirmed the size, that the fonts are embedded and that no ink falls within 6 mm of the page edge. Test printing on a real printer has not been recorded for this file.

QUESTIONS AND HOW-TO
Does it follow the National Curriculum?
It was not written to any curriculum and has not been matched to one. Ages 7 to 11 is a rough guide.

Is there a US Letter file?
No, A4 only.

Why -ise and not the other ending?
This set uses one form throughout, so a child sees one spelling.

Where are the answers?
After the worksheets, in the same order. The rule and Look, cover, write, check pages have no key.

Can I use it with a class?
The licence is for personal use, so one family or one child.

To print only some pages, type the numbers in the Pages box, for example 3-8.
For double-sided pages, choose flip on long edge for portrait pages.

HOW AI WAS USED
AI helped write the rules, the sentences, the choice of words, the listing text, the how-to text and the code that builds this file. Scripts tested: every page for American spellings, that each list word differs from its American form, that each missing-letters pattern fits one word only, that each scramble has the same letters as its word, and that a key equals its page plus green. A second AI pass filled in the sentences without seeing the key, and its answers were compared with the key. No person is claimed to have checked it unless stated here.
