Motion Mansion

Worksheet Description

Students enter a spooky mansion filled with action words that end in silent e. They change ten base words into -ing forms by removing the final e before adding the ending. A second section asks them to complete sentences about movement through the mansion using the same spelling process. The mysterious theme gives repeated word-building practice a clear and entertaining purpose.

This worksheet helps students connect the spelling rule with actions happening right now. Writing the root, shortened form, ending, and new word makes every step visible. Using the words in sentences then checks whether students can apply the rule without relying only on a chart. This strengthens present-action verbs, spelling memory, grammar, and sentence fluency.

This worksheet is part of our drop the e spelling worksheet series.
