About this worksheet
A Year 3 spelling challenge on adding -ing, -ed, -er and -en to words of more than one syllable. A rule box explains that the final consonant doubles when the last syllable is stressed, with forget, begin, prefer, garden and limit worked through. Pupils then add suffixes to 12 root words, including happen, admit, visit, listen, regret and focus, and tick doubled or not doubled. Last, they find six mistakes in a passage about a school gardening club and explain why gardener has one n but beginner has two. A full key covers all three parts. The pattern comes from English Appendix 1 for Years 3 and 4.
