Missing or Extras

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a spelling correction exercise aimed at Grade 12 students, divided into two parts to assess and improve their spelling skills. Part 1 lists words that may have extra letters, requiring students to decide whether this is the case and then write the correct spelling on the provided lines. Part 2 focuses on words that might be missing letters, with students needing to determine if the word is incomplete and, if so, write the complete word correctly. For both sections, students must first indicate with ‘yes’ or ‘no’ whether there is an issue with the spelling before correcting the word.

The worksheet’s first part teaches students to recognize and eliminate superfluous letters in words, sharpening their editing skills. The second part reinforces the ability to identify when a word is missing letters and understand how to complete it correctly. This type of exercise is crucial for developing meticulous proofreading abilities and ensuring accurate spelling. It also helps students to prepare for the precision in writing required for college-level assignments and professional communication.
