What this worksheet teaches

• Spell words with silent letters - knee, wrist, lamb, sign - and know where they cluster.
• Handle -tion, -sion and -cian endings, all of which say the same sound.
• Apply the doubling rule when adding endings to two-syllable words.
• Read homophones correctly in context (weight/wait, board/bored).

How to use this worksheet

Silent letters follow patterns worth naming out loud: kn at the start, mb at the end, wr before a vowel. Naming the pattern turns a hundred odd spellings into three small groups.

Sample questions from this worksheet

1. Correct spelling:
2. Word with long 'i' sound:

Frequently asked questions

How can my child tell -tion from -sion?

Not by ear. A rough guide: -sion often follows l or s sounds (tension, division), -tion is far more common otherwise. When in doubt, -tion is the safer guess.

Do roots really help this young?

Yes. A child who knows tele means far and graph means write can attempt telegraph, telephone and photograph without being taught each one.

Is phonics not finished by Grade 4?

The basic code is, but word structure is not. Roots, prefixes and endings are what let a Grade 4 reader handle subject textbooks independently.
