Extra Letters
Worksheet Description
This worksheet is a spelling correction activity for third-grade students. It provides a list of ten words, some of which include extra letters, and the students’ task is to identify whether each word is spelled correctly by writing ‘yes’ or ‘no’ on the first line. Then, on the second line, they must write the correct spelling of the word, removing any extraneous letters. The sheet includes a cartoon character at the top, adding a fun visual element to the page.
The goal of this worksheet is to improve students’ spelling skills by teaching them to identify and eliminate unnecessary letters in words. It encourages attention to detail and reinforces their understanding of correct word spellings. This activity also helps students to develop their proofreading abilities, a critical component of writing. By asking them to select the word they find most challenging, the worksheet promotes self-reflection on their learning process, potentially highlighting words that may require additional practice. This 3rd grade spelling worksheet will have you analyze prewritten words. Are there extra letters in the word? Write yes or no on the first line. Write each word correctly on the second line, removing any extra letters.
