Extra Letters

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a middle school spelling exercise that focuses on the identification and correction of misspelled words. Students are given a list of ten words and must first decide if there are any extra letters in the provided words by writing “yes” or “no” on the first line. Then, on the second line, they are required to rewrite the word correctly, removing any extraneous letters if necessary. This task encourages careful analysis of word structure and spelling.

The worksheet teaches students to identify superfluous letters in words, improving their spelling accuracy. It helps them to understand common spelling mistakes and to learn the correct letter combinations in English words. The exercise also serves to enhance the students’ proofreading skills, as they have to recognize and eliminate unnecessary letters. Rewriting the word they found most challenging allows for individualized practice, strengthening their grasp on more difficult spelling patterns.
