Harbor Repairs

Worksheet Description

Students read thirteen harbor-themed sentences that each contain one incorrectly spelled word ending in -er. The words describe workers such as drivers, builders, bakers, writers, swimmers, singers, and reporters. Students circle the spelling problem and rewrite the correct form on the line. The harbor setting connects the sentences through boats, docks, supplies, markets, and rescue work.

This worksheet helps students proofread -er words inside complete sentences. They learn to notice errors involving doubled consonants, dropped final letters, and incorrect vowels. Reading for meaning also helps them decide which worker word belongs in the sentence. This strengthens spelling, editing, vocabulary, and confidence correcting everyday writing.
