The 200 Most Commonly Misspelled and Misused Words

[Pages:4]The 200 Most

Commonly Misspelled

and Misused Words

This is an accepted list of 200 of the most commonly misspelled and misused words. I have my upper elementary students glue this in their Spelling Journals. They have to look up the words in the dictionary, try and find an antonym and synonym using the Thesaurus (this is not always possible,) and write a sentence using the word properly in a sentence. In parenthesis I have them write the abbreviation for the part of speech.
