Identifying Patterns

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a spelling activity designed to help students learn to complete words using the given ending patterns: -ist, -iff, and -ilt. There are eighteen incomplete words across three columns, with each column dedicated to one of the ending patterns. Students must fill in the blanks to form a complete word that correctly matches the pattern indicated at the top of each column. A picture of a child reading a book is featured, suggesting the theme of learning and literacy.

The worksheet’s intention is to reinforce students’ understanding of these specific spelling patterns and their associated sounds. It aims to expand the students’ vocabulary by introducing them to new words that follow these patterns. This activity also enhances the students’ phonemic awareness, which is the ability to hear, identify, and manipulate the different sounds that make up words. By completing this worksheet, students practice recognizing and spelling words that conclude with -ist, -iff, and -ilt, which is a fundamental skill for reading and writing proficiency.
