Year 4 Suffixes: -ing and -ed Worksheets (952-954)
This Year 4 Suffixes: -ing and -ed worksheet set helps children build confidence with one of the key spelling patterns in lower KS2. Pupils practise adding -ing and -ed to root words while learning how spelling changes can happen when suffixes are added.
The worksheets cover important spelling rules such as:
Drop the final e before adding -ing
Examples include hope → hoping, smile → smiling and bake → baking.
Double some final consonants before adding -ing or -ed
Examples include stop → stopped / stopping, plan → planned / planning and drop → dropped / dropping.
Change y to i before adding -ed
Examples include try → tried and carry → carried.
Children complete a range of activities including circling the correct spelling, adding suffixes to root words, completing sentences with the correct word, correcting incorrect spellings and writing their own sentences using words with -ing and -ed endings.
This resource is suitable for Year 4 spelling lessons, KS2 homework, morning work, intervention groups, revision tasks or independent classroom practice. It can also support pupils preparing for spelling and grammar expectations linked to KS2 SATs in the UK and spelling practice for NAPLAN in Australia.
