Name on the Line

Worksheet Description

This worksheet features a spelling exercise themed around the “I before E except after C” rule. There are images of various objects and creatures on the sheet, and students are instructed to write the name of each pictured item on the lines provided. The pictures are chosen to represent words that either follow or break the rule, though this is not explicitly stated. By writing the names, students demonstrate their understanding of the spelling rule or its exceptions as applicable to each word.

The worksheet is teaching students to apply the “I before E except after C” spelling rule to real-world examples. By associating the rule with concrete images, it aids in memory retention and helps students recognize when to use ‘ie’ or ‘ei’ in a word. This visual approach can make the abstract concept of a spelling rule more tangible and easier to grasp. The activity also subtly tests students’ vocabulary knowledge, as they must know the correct name for each image to apply the rule.
