Treasure Path

Worksheet Description

Students help a pirate find hidden treasure by following a trail of correctly spelled -ing words. The highlighted route moves through many action verbs related to travel, searching, exploring, carrying, and discovering. Students start at the ship and follow the connected words until they reach the treasure chest. The pirate setting turns present-action spelling practice into an adventurous maze.

This worksheet helps students become familiar with the correct look of words ending in -ing. They practice noticing when a root word keeps all its letters, drops a final e, or doubles the final consonant. Following the connected route also requires careful visual tracking and attention to each word. These skills support stronger spelling, proofreading, focus, and correct use of ongoing-action verbs.
