Daily Skill Building: Spelling Grade 8
Sample: Try a full week for free!
Daily Skill Building: Spelling is a complete 36-week spelling curriculum created as a companion for our Daily Skill Building: Vocabulary Series.
This full-year spelling resource is designed to work hand-in-hand with the vocabulary words your student is already learning. Each week, your child will practice spelling the same vocabulary words—plus their synonyms and antonyms.
By weaving in review of familiar words, students reinforce meaning and usage while improving spelling skills. It’s a well-rounded approach to word mastery that builds confidence in both writing and communication.
How It Works
Daily Skill Building: Spelling follows a simple 5-day weekly schedule. Each week includes:
- Spelling words drawn from Daily Skill Building: Vocabulary
- Corresponding synonyms and antonyms
- Printable activities and practice pages
- Opportunities for review and retention
Your student will complete daily assignments that include spelling practice, writing the words in sentences, and other exercises that encourage them to really understand and use the words—not just memorize them.
There’s no teacher’s guide needed, and everything is laid out clearly so your student can work independently. Just open and go!
What’s Included
- 36 weeks of spelling lessons
- Words pulled directly from the vocabulary curriculum
- Daily practice pages and review
- Synonyms and antonyms for extended learning
- Printables for extra reinforcement
- Optional instructions for stand-alone use
We’ve even included guidance if you want to use the spelling curriculum without the vocabulary program—though they work best as a team!
Build Spelling Confidence
This companion resource doesn’t just teach spelling—it helps your child become a better writer and a stronger communicator. As your student works through the lessons, they’ll expand their vocabulary, grow in confidence, and improve their writing naturally through daily practice.
By combining spelling, vocabulary, and dictionary skills, this program builds a solid foundation for academic success.
Pair Daily Skill Building: Spelling with Daily Skill Building: Vocabulary and watch your student’s word skills soar!

We are loving this Series and will be purchasing other volumes for our younger kids! This is very well done, words are level appropriate. It is set up for 36 weeks and to be done over 5 days. We travel a lot so this has been perfect for us to take on the go! This can also be done with little supervision and your child can work on this alone, which has been perfect as my child has been wanting more more of that. You would need access to a thesaurus online or a physical copy. We also have the Vocabulary Companion as it goes along with this nicely.

I have been curious about the Daily Skill Building Spelling series. The process is very straightforward. You just start with the first word and follow the instructions–it is that simple. Your child would need a thesaurus with this curriculum to search for the synonyms and antonyms of each spelling word. This is the work assigned for the first day. On the second day, the student copies the words repetitively to memorize their spelling. On the third day, the copywork is copying the definitions. Then there is the paragraph writing to practice using the spelling words. On the fourth and fifth days, it is about ensuring the student knows the spelling words by doing independent testing.
This curriculum is for the child who loves answering and doing a lot of writing. It encourages independent work throughout. The mom/dad just needs to facilitate and look over the work if needed. The spelling level is for grade 8, but I think a very well-read younger child can tackle this as well.
I love the choice of words! How I wish we had something similar to this when I was in school. This is one way to introduce new vocabulary words to your student.
