Double or Not

Worksheet Description

Students categorize words based on whether they require doubling the consonant before adding suffixes like “-ed” or “-ing.” Words such as “plot” and “plod” are sorted into the appropriate columns, challenging students to apply spelling rules. The activity visually separates the two patterns, providing clarity. This worksheet fosters critical thinking in applying language rules.

By sorting words, students develop their analytical skills and deepen their understanding of spelling conventions. The hands-on categorization sharpens their ability to apply language rules to practical tasks. This practice strengthens problem-solving skills and builds confidence in spelling accuracy. It is particularly effective for reinforcing the difference between doubling and not doubling consonants.
