Suffix Speedway

Worksheet Description

Students race through twelve sentences by circling the correctly spelled word. The racing examples include -ing, -ed, -er, and -est forms created from silent e base words. Each question offers several close spellings, but only one follows the rule correctly and fits the sentence. The speedway theme gives the review an energetic finish while still rewarding careful work.

This worksheet helps students identify correct suffix forms quickly without forgetting accuracy. They practice rejecting choices that keep an unnecessary e, remove too much of the root, or add extra letters. The variety of sentence types also reviews actions, past events, comparisons, and strongest-degree descriptions. This builds spelling fluency, grammar awareness, proofreading, and readiness to use the rule in independent writing.
