What’s Missing?

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a spelling correction activity aimed at third-grade students. It lists ten words with potentially missing letters, and students are prompted to determine if each word is incomplete by writing ‘yes’ or ‘no’ on the first line. On the second line, they are instructed to write the word correctly, including any missing letters. The exercise is accompanied by an illustration of a child, making it more appealing to the students.

The worksheet’s objective is to enhance the students’ ability to identify when a word is incorrectly spelled due to missing letters and to correct it. This task helps to reinforce their understanding of word structures and common spelling patterns. It also develops their proofreading skills, an essential aspect of writing. By asking students to write down the word they found most difficult, it encourages self-assessment and helps educators identify which words may need more focused instruction. These third-grade spelling words are missing some letters. Figure out what is absent and then fill them in and write the hard words multiple times.
