Boardwalk Builder

Worksheet Description

Students help prepare a boardwalk by changing base words that end in silent e. They combine each word with endings such as -ing, -ed, -er, and -est, remembering to remove the final e first. A second section gives the word parts in a more compact form, and the final sentences ask students to build the correct changed word from a root in parentheses. The beach theme gives the spelling rule a fun setting while students practice it in several ways.

This worksheet helps students understand that the silent e often disappears before an ending beginning with a vowel is added. Building the words step by step makes the spelling change easier to see and remember. The sentence section also shows students how the new forms work in real writing. This practice strengthens spelling, word formation, grammar, and independent proofreading.

This worksheet is part of our drop the e spelling worksheet series.
