Suffix Workshop

Worksheet Description

Students study a clear set of spelling rules for building words ending in -er. They decide whether to double the final consonant, drop a silent e, or simply add the suffix to nine base words. After naming the rule and writing the new word, they complete sentences with correctly formed -er words. The workshop theme presents spelling as careful construction.

This worksheet helps students understand that not every -er word is formed in the same way. Writing the rule beside each example helps them explain why a word changes. The sentence section then checks whether they can use the finished forms independently. This strengthens spelling logic, grammar, word formation, and editing skills.
