Although spelling is a subject most often associated with the elementary grades, high school level spelling words provide an opportunity for students to further develop their mastery of the English language. The English language is 85% phonetic, but 15% of all words are not phonetically spelled. Since the ability to spell correctly is needed to clearly articulate one’s thoughts in writing, this means spelling lessons must remain an important part of the high school curriculum.
