Lighthouse Letters

Worksheet Description

Students repair missing words in a lighthouse logbook by using sentence clues, base words, suffixes, and incomplete letter patterns. The first section asks them to restore changed words with endings such as -ing and -ed. The second section focuses on comparison words ending in -er and -est. Each response requires students to drop the final silent e and then write the full corrected word.

This worksheet helps students use several clues at once instead of guessing from only one piece of information. They must understand the sentence, recognize the root word, and apply the spelling rule correctly. Rebuilding incomplete forms also strengthens their memory of the entire changed word. This develops spelling accuracy, reading comprehension, word analysis, and careful problem-solving.

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