Grade 4 Spelling Words (Canadian)

A free Grade 4 spelling list using Canadian spellings, the way words are marked in Canadian classrooms. Print it, or turn any group into a game in one tap.

Free 2-minute spelling check → Practise these as games →
🍁 Canadian note: Grade 4 students encounter more -our words (honour, behaviour), -re endings (metre, fibre), and -ise verbs (realise, organise). American lists spell these differently. A Canadian child practising a US list can lose easy marks.
