Foreword
The spelling contest is designed to give students exposure to a wide variety of vocabulary words.
Preparation for this contest should include instruction in the rules of the English language,
definitions and root words. In addition to learning to spell proficiently, contestants will learn to
write clearly and to properly capitalize words.
Word Lists
This bulletin contains three lists, each of which is a source of words for the UIL spelling contests.
Divisions are by grade, as follows: (1) Grades 3 and 4; (2) Grades 5 and 6; (3) Grades 7 and
8. The words have been selected to supplement state-adopted texts.
The authority for all words is Merriam Webster’s Intermediate Dictionary. Approximately 20
percent of the test words come from sources other than the UIL spelling lists.
Dictionary
The Merriam Webster’s Intermediate Dictionary is the official source for the UIL spelling and
dictionary skills competitions at the elementary and junior high levels. The dictionary can be
purchased from Texas Educational Paperbacks, 3824 Cedar Springs Rd., #202, Dallas, TX
75219-4168; 800/443-2078 or Fax: 800/437-7070.
Alternate spellings
When an alternate spelling exists, students are required to spell only one variant. Acceptable
alternatives in the bulletin are listed together and separated by commas. Alternate endings
are shown in parentheses as follows: blond (e).

Capitalization
Where it is correct to start a word with a capital or lowercase letter, it will be shown as follows:
alligator (A). If a word is listed in the dictionary with a capital and lowercase letter but the word
only appears on the list with a lowercase letter, the capitalized version is not correct. If a word
is listed in the dictionary with a capital and lowercase letter but the word only appears on the
list with a capital letter, the lowercase version is not correct.
Explanatory Words
Explanatory words, such as parts of speech or brief definitions, are listed in parentheses
after the word. These definitions serve only to identify words which are homonyms or nearhomonyms. Space does not allow full definitions of words, and the short definition given may
need to be explained to the student.
Corrections
Any misprints or other errors found in the list should be reported to the League office at once.
Errors and corrections are posted on the UIL web site.
Printing and cursive acceptable
First and foremost, this is a test to determine spelling excellence. Therefore, plain writing rules
do not apply. However, the student is expected to write each word legibly. If there is a question
on legibility, to determine whether a given letter is legible, place a blank piece of paper on
either side of it, separating it from its context. Even though it may not be perfectly written, any
letter is considered correct which can still be identified when separated from the remainder
of the word. Students may use either a printing or a cursive style of handwriting. Spelling, not
handwriting, is the main goal of this event.
A set of rules is provided in this publication for your convenience. Should there be an inconsistency between these rules and those in the Constitution and Contest Rules, the C&CR
(Section 1470) prevails.
Outside sources
Several companies provide materials to help student prepare for the UIL spelling competition.

UIL A+ Spelling Word List 2013-2014 • Page 3
Section 1470: SPELLING
(a)REPRESENTATION.
(1) Contestants. Students in the third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth grades
who are eligible under Section 1400 or 1405 may enter this contest.
(2) Divisions. This contest will consist of three divisions, one for grades 3 and 4, one
for grades 5 and 6, and one for grades 7 and 8 — unless the district executive committee approves separate divisions for each grade.
(3) Individual Competition. For each division, each participant school may enter as many
as three contestants in the district meet.
(4) Team Competition. If the district has elected to include team competition, the combined scores of the three contestants in each division from a school shall constitute
the school’s team score. A team must have three contestants compete to participate
in the team competition.
(b) NATURE OF THE CONTEST.
(1) Summary. This contest is designed to give students exposure to a wide variety of
vocabulary words. It is not a contest of memorization. For the most educational value,
preparation for this contest should include instruction in the rules of the English
language, meanings and definitions, and root words. In addition to learning to spell
proficiently, contestants will learn to write clearly and to capitalize words properly.
(2) Contest Format. Students will write down words given by the pronouncer on their
paper at a rate of approximately five words per minute.
(A) Grades 3 and 4: 50 words; tie breaker, 15 words.
(B) Grades 5 and 6: 80 words; tie breaker, 20 words.
(C) Grades 7 and 8: 110 words; tie breaker, 30 words.
The tie breaker is given to all contestants immediately following the initial test.
(3) Tests. One test will be provided for grades 3 and 4; another for grades 5 and 6,
and another for grades 7 and 8. For elementary and junior high contests, words
will come from the appropriate UIL spelling list, state adopted textbooks and words
of common usage. The authority for all words is Merriam Webster’s Intermediate
Dictionary. Approximately 20 percent of the test words will come from sources other
than the UIL spelling lists.
(c) Contest Administration.
(1) Personnel.
(A) Contest Director. The contest director will be in charge of running the contest and
resolving any problems that arise. The director may also serve as the pronouncer
as long as he/she is not the coach of any student in the contest. The director may
appoint an assistant director.
(B) Pronouncer. The pronouncer shall not be a coach of any contestant entered in the
contest. The pronouncer should receive the test and tie breaker well in advance of
the contest and should become familiar with the words and verify pronunciations
and spellings of all the words on the test. The pronouncer should be prepared
not only to give two pronunciations of each word (if the word has more than one
pronunciation) but also to provide an illustrative sentence for words which offer
unusual difficulties.
(C) Verifier. One or two verifiers check the pronunciations and definitions given by
the pronouncer.
(D) Monitor (optional). The monitor shall not be a coach of a contestant in the
contest. The monitor’s duty is to make certain that contestants work quietly
and independently.
Page 4 • UIL A+ Spelling Word List 2013-2014
(E)
Graders. At least three graders should be familiar with the instructions for
grading and the contest rules, and they may be coaches. The contest director
may recruit more than three graders.
(2) Time Allotted for Contest. Time should be allotted for introductory information, roll
call, for pronouncing each word at a rate of approximately five words per minute, and
for pronouncing words a second time, as needed.
(A) Grades 3 and 4: approximately 30 minutes
(B) Grades 5 and 6: approximately 45 minutes
(C) Grades 7 and 8: approximately 60 minutes
(3) Materials.
(A) Provided by UIL. The following materials will be provided to schools submitting
the appropriate requisitions. See Section 1408 (c) for the dates when invitational materials will be available. See Section 1408 (e) for the dates when
district materials will be available.
(i)
List of test and tie breaker words.
(ii)
Contest rosters.
(iii)
Instructions for the pronouncer, grader, verifier and monitor.
(B) Provided by the Host School. Dictionary for the pronouncer, verifiers and graders to use if needed.
(C) Provided by the School or Student. Pens or pencils and blank, lined paper,
which may be numbered.
(D) Other. No other materials or notes may be used in the contest.
(4) Delivery of Tests. All tests should be delivered to the contest director and/or pronouncer well in advance of the contest.
(d) CONDUCTING THE CONTEST.
(1) Number Contestants. As roll is called, instruct contestants to place their assigned
numbers in the upper right-hand corner of their documents.
(2) Clear Room. Contestants and coaches should be informed of the time and place
of the verification period. Spectators and coaches not assigned a specific duty in
administering the contest should be dismissed from the contest room before the
contest begins.
(3) Pronounce Words. The following are points of clarification for the pronouncer and
verifier:
(A) Homonyms. The pronouncer should be careful to distinguish between words
that sound alike but have different meanings. When pronouncing the word
“bass,” be careful to give an example phrase “bass drum,” or “bass voice,”
to distinguish it from “base."
(B) Clarification. The pronouncer may provide a sentence and/or definition for
clarification, if needed.
(C) Verifiers. Verifiers should be given a copy of the test list and should mark any
words for which they question the pronunciation or definition as the test is
being dictated.
(D) Verifying Pronunciation. After each test, when all words have been pronounced,
the pronouncer, with the assistance of the verifier, shall verify and clarify any
words in question. These words should be repronounced by the pronouncer.
(4) Tie Breaker Mandatory. Contestants who do not take the tie breaker test shall be disqualified.
(e)JUDGING.
(1) Briefing Graders. Brief graders on the procedure to be used for grading and explain
the scoring process.
(2) Criteria. The test is graded objectively.
(3) Scoring. Each test should be independently scored twice, and papers contending to
place should be scored a third time. From the total number of word entries, deduct
one point for each incorrectly spelled word.
UIL A+ Spelling Word List 2013-2014 • Page 5
(A)
Word Order. Any word omitted by the contestant is a miss. If all contestants
omit the same word, the pronouncer is presumed to have failed to have given
the word, so the omission by contestants is not considered a miss.
(B) Punctuation and Capitalization. The misuse of an apostrophe or hyphen, or a
mistake in capitalization is considered a miss. Contractions and possessive
forms may be written with all letters connected or written separately.
(C) Misspelled Words on List. Any word misspelled on the spelling list is not to be
considered in grading the tests unless a correction has been published in the
“Official Notices” section of the Leaguer and posted on the UIL web site.
(4) Determining Legibility. Contestants may print or write words. If there is a question
about legibility of a letter, place a blank piece of paper on either side of the letter,
separating it from its context, and then determine whether the letter can be identified.
If two of three graders rule that a letter is legible, it should be considered correct.
(5) Ties. Ties in individual competition are to be broken by scoring the tie breaker test of
only those involved in the tie. When calculating team scores, do not include scores
from the tie breaker portion of the test unless a tie exists. If a tie exists in team
competition, calculate the tie breaker scores for only those teams involved in the
tie. If the tie remains after scoring the tie breaker, the tie shall stand. If there is a
tie for first place, there is no second place. If there is a tie for second place, there
is no third place, etc.
(6) Points. Individual points are awarded through sixth place. Team points are awarded
through third place. See Section 1408 (i). Tied individuals or teams split the total
points equally for the two or more places in which a tie exists.
(7) Certificates. Students who score 100% in district competition are eligible to receive
a Certificate of Achievement. Words misspelled on the tiebreaker do not disqualify
a student from a certificate.
(f)
Verification Period. Contestants and coaches shall be given a period not to exceed 15
minutes to examine their test papers with official keys. Unofficial results should be posted.
Questions should be directed to the contest director, whose decision will be final.
(g)OFFICIAL RESULTS. After the verification period has ended and all test papers have been
collected, the contest director shall announce the official results. Official results, once
announced, are final.
(h)RETURNING Materials. No materials from the fall/winter district contest may be returned to
contestants before January 31. No materials from the spring district contest may be returned
to contestants before the Saturday prior to Memorial Day.
