This Year 2 Suffixes: -er and -est worksheet set helps pupils practise forming comparative and superlative adjectives. Children begin by adding -er and -est to simple root words such as tall, short, fast, slow, small, long, high and clean, before moving on to words that require spelling changes.
The worksheets are differentiated across three levels: Triangles, Circles and Squares. The easier sheet focuses on regular examples such as taller, shortest and faster, while the middle and higher levels introduce more challenging spelling patterns, including changing y to i before adding -er or -est, and doubling consonants in words such as big, hot, thin and wet.
Children practise the suffixes through a mixture of activities, including adding suffixes to root words, choosing the correct word in a sentence, completing sentences using the correct comparative or superlative form, and writing their own sentences. This makes the set useful for spelling lessons, grammar practice, homework, intervention groups, revision, or independent classroom work.
This resource supports key Year 2 English spelling and grammar objectives and is also useful for broader primary English revision. It can help pupils build confidence with word endings, sentence accuracy and spelling patterns, making it suitable for UK curriculum practice, early SATs-style grammar and spelling preparation, and international English practice including NAPLAN-style spelling and language conventions revision.
Each worksheet comes with a matching answer sheet, making marking quick and straightforward for teachers, tutors and parents.
