About this worksheet

Four short sections make up The Great Year 4 Spelling Challenge, a three-page sheet for Year 4 English. Pupils add prefixes and suffixes to care, kind and behave. They choose between its and it's, and between there, their and they're. They correct surprise and library in two sentences. The last task puts magic, material, medicine and mention into alphabetical order using the second and third letters. Answers are shown for the table tasks. Linked to the England National Curriculum transcription objectives.
