Printable "Common Exception Words" worksheets for spelling practice, featuring the "look, say, cover, write, check" method and seasonal images.

Let’s go step by step to complete this task.

You are being asked to practice spelling the months of the year using a method called “Look, Say, Cover, Write, Check.” This is a common way to learn tricky words — especially ones that don’t follow normal spelling rules (called “exception words”).

The list you need to practice includes:
- January
- February
- March
- April
- May
- June
- July
- August
- September
- October
- November
- December

Here’s how to do it:

Step 1: Look
Look at the word carefully. Notice any tricky parts. For example:
- “February” has an ‘r’ after the ‘b’ that people often forget.
- “September” ends with “ber”, not “bur”.
- All these words start with a capital letter because they are names of months.

Step 2: Say
Say the word out loud slowly. Break it into parts if needed:
- Feb-ru-ar-y
- Sep-tem-ber
- Nov-em-ber

Step 3: Cover
Cover the word so you can’t see it anymore. Use your hand or a piece of paper.

Step 4: Write
Write the word from memory in the first try column (“1st try”). Don’t peek!

Step 5: Check
Uncover the word and check if you spelled it right. If you got it wrong, write it again in the “2nd try” column. Keep going until you get it right — maybe even a third time (“3rd try”) to make sure it sticks.

You’ll repeat this for each month.

Since this is a practice sheet, there’s no single “correct answer” like in math — instead, your goal is to spell each word correctly by the end of your tries.

But since you’re asking me to solve it, I’ll show you what the correct spellings are — so you can check your work against them.
