Sixth Grade Spelling List F-15
Words from other languages usually don’t follow English spelling patterns. List 15 in the sixth-grade spelling series includes loan words from several different languages, such as axolotl, khaki, leprechaun, cello, etiquette, wildebeest, debut, jalapeño, camouflage, boutique, pharaoh, reservoir, tsunami, quesadilla, souvenir, cliché, spiel, parachute, sabotage, bologna, and challenge word karaoke.
Every word on this list contains one or more letters that behave strangely by English standards - because the words don't originate from English! The special activity calls attention to these spelling patterns.
