About this worksheet
Root words that change when a suffix goes on are the focus of this three-page spelling check for Year 2 English. Pupils spot the right spelling in pairs like hopeing and hoping, build words such as baking, cries, biggest and copied, and fill gaps from prompts like hop + ing. The last question asks them to explain why patting needs two ts. The key names each rule: drop the e, change the y to an i, or double the last letter. Matches the England National Curriculum spelling objectives.
