Add and Remove Letters

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a spelling correction tool for fifth-grade students, divided into two parts. In Part 1, students must identify if the listed words contain extra letters and write ‘yes’ or ‘no’ on the first line, followed by the correctly spelled word on the second line. Part 2 requires students to determine if there are letters missing from the words, again marking ‘yes’ or ‘no’ and then writing the complete word correctly. The task is designed to enhance the students’ spelling skills by recognizing and correcting common spelling errors.

The worksheet teaches students to critically analyze and edit words for spelling accuracy. Part 1 focuses on the students’ ability to eliminate superfluous letters, while Part 2 emphasizes identifying and filling in missing letters. This exercise helps in reinforcing the correct spelling of words and in understanding word structure. It also aids students in developing their proofreading skills, an essential component of writing. You are asked to either add or remove letters to create these 5^th grade spelling words.
