SpellingKids.com shares free spelling bee word lists for students worldwide — available to download and study at no cost. Level 4 and Level 5 competition word lists are available now, with more levels being added regularly.
Free Resources for Every Spelling Bee Student
SpellingKids.com is committed to making high-quality spelling bee preparation accessible to every student, everywhere in the world — regardless of budget. As part of that commitment, we publish free spelling bee word lists on Scribd that any student or parent can access, download, and study at no cost. Whether you are preparing for a school-level bee, a national competition, or an international championship, these word lists give you a strong, structured foundation to build on.
Why Free Word Lists Matter
Spelling bee preparation resources can be expensive, and not every student or family has the means to purchase study materials. Free, high-quality word lists level the playing field — giving every motivated student access to the same vocabulary foundations that well-resourced competitors use. SpellingKids believes that a student's preparation should be limited only by their dedication, never by their access to materials. These free lists are our contribution to that goal.
Level 4 Spelling Bee Word Lists
The Level 4 word lists cover the competition-level vocabulary most commonly tested at Level 4 spelling bees. The list is split into manageable parts for focused daily study, and a complete combined list is also available for students who prefer to work through the full set.
Level 5 Spelling Bee Word Lists
The Level 5 word lists introduce more advanced vocabulary, including words with Latin and Greek roots that appear frequently at higher competition levels. More parts will be added as they are published.
More Resources Coming Soon
SpellingKids is actively expanding this free resource library. Word lists for additional levels and more parts for existing levels will be published regularly. Bookmark this page and check back to find the latest additions as they are released.
Practice the Words Online — Free
Word lists are a great starting point, but research consistently shows that active recall — being tested on a word rather than just reading it — builds far stronger memory. SpellingKids.com offers free online spelling practice and interactive flashcards at spellingkids.com/webapp. Study the words from these lists in an interactive format, with the word's language of origin included on every card — completely free, with no download or account required. The free Android apps for Levels 1 through 8 are also available on Google Play for offline study anywhere.
