spelling list

Terms to memorize

A spelling list is a set of words assigned for study, typically given to students who must learn to spell them correctly for a test.

Teachers compile spelling lists by grade level or theme: This week's spelling list focuses on words with silent letters.

The term evokes elementary school vocabulary drills.
