Double Add-ons

Worksheet Description

Students practice adding suffixes “-ed” and “-ing” to words with a short vowel followed by a consonant, applying the rule of doubling the consonant when necessary. The activity is structured in a table format, with root words like “sob” and “pat” guiding the task. Students transform the root words by doubling the consonant and adding the suffix. This systematic activity reinforces essential spelling conventions.

This worksheet enhances students’ grammar and spelling accuracy by teaching them practical suffix application. It promotes an understanding of word structure and phonetic consistency. By repeating the process for various words, students develop confidence and accuracy in their writing. The structured approach also nurtures their ability to recognize spelling patterns across different contexts.
