LAK12 recommends the following 300 words as a must-have spelling skill for the 4th-grade students. The vocabulary lists are displayed in eight groups on the webpage, making it easy to view and skim. Each word is clickable to check its definition on demand.

In each group webpage, you can run interactive spelling quizzes, word definition single-choice tests, and other online exercises. Because some people used to study new words in old-school ways, the list's PDFs are also available to download from the page.
