Extra Letters Worksheet

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a spelling activity designed to enhance students’ ability to recognize and correct superfluous letters in words. It lists ten words, and students must first decide if each word contains extra letters by writing ‘yes’ or ‘no’ on the first line. On the second line, they are required to write the word correctly, omitting any unnecessary letters. Finally, students are instructed to select the word they find most challenging and write it again, providing additional practice where needed.

The worksheet is aiming to teach students precision in spelling by identifying and eliminating extraneous letters from words. It encourages attention to detail and improves students’ familiarity with commonly misspelled words. This exercise also helps to develop critical thinking skills as students must analyze each word and decide on its correct spelling. The final task of rewriting the most difficult word reinforces learning and provides a self-assessment component to the exercise.
