Something Lost

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a spelling activity targeted at fifth-grade students. It presents a list of ten words, each potentially missing some letters. Students are asked to decide whether each word is incomplete by writing ‘yes’ or ‘no’ on the first line. Then, they must correctly spell the word on the second line, filling in any missing letters. An image of a book and a test tube suggests a focus on academic learning.

The worksheet’s objective is to strengthen the students’ ability to identify and correct incomplete spellings of words. This skill is crucial for both writing fluently and understanding the orthography of the English language. By requiring students to write the full, correct spelling, the exercise reinforces visual recognition and the muscle memory associated with writing words. The final task of choosing and rewriting the most challenging word offers personalized practice, enabling students to overcome specific difficulties they encounter with spelling. Are these words missing letters? Determine what is missing or what is not and then write the word multiple times.
