About this resource
Description
This add ED suffix worksheet gives first graders simple, focused practice turning action words into past tense verbs. Adding the suffix ed to a base word such as jump or help tells a reader that the action already happened. At this level every base word keeps its spelling, so children can concentrate on hearing and writing the new ending before they meet the trickier spelling rules in later grades.
About This Worksheet
In the first section, students read four word cards like jump + ed and write the new word on the line. In the second section, they read four short sentences, look at the base word printed under each blank, add ed, and write the past tense verb that completes the sentence. A cheerful easel illustration shows one of the sentences. Use this 1st grade suffixes worksheet for guided practice after a phonics lesson, as independent seat work, in a literacy center, or as quick homework.
What’s Included
- 1 printable 1st grade suffixes worksheet on adding ed
- 4 word building cards (base word + ed)
- 4 sentences to complete with a past tense verb
- A complete answer key
Why It Helps Kids
First, building each word from a base word plus a suffix shows children that longer words are made of smaller parts they already know. Second, every base word here takes ed with no spelling change, so students succeed with the ending before learning rules like doubling or dropping the e. Third, writing the new verb inside a sentence connects the ending to meaning, so kids learn that ed tells about the past.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Say each finished word aloud and listen together for the three sounds ed can make, as in jumped, played and painted. Act out the verbs, then have children tell what they did yesterday using an ed word. After the add ED suffix worksheet, invite students to write two sentences of their own about something that already happened, and use the answer key for a quick check.
