Important Note - The current ODACS Elementary Spelling Study List may not be the same as the current list published by AACS.  Also, words used in competition may not necessarily appear on the study list.  ODACS does not publish study lists for Junior High or Senior High.  Visit the AACS web site to find study lists for older students; however, keep in mind again that words used in competition may not necessarily appear on the study lists.
