About this resource
Description
Some short verbs change their spelling before they take an ending. This Adding ING Suffix Worksheet teaches second graders the doubling rule: when a one-syllable verb ends with one vowel and then one consonant, like hop or run, you double that last consonant before you add ing. Knowing this rule helps children spell words such as hopping, running, and swimming correctly in their own writing and read them with confidence in books.
This 2nd grade suffixes worksheet opens with the rule and a worked example, hum plus m plus ing makes humming. In the first section, students take six short base verbs, double the final consonant, add ing, and write the new word on the line. In the second section, they read four sentences and use the ing form of the bold word to finish each one. Use the page for whole-class spelling practice, a literacy center, homework, or a quick check after a lesson on suffixes.
What’s Included
- 1 print-ready PDF worksheet
- Answer key
- 6 word-building items and 4 sentence items
This worksheet helps children in three ways. First, practicing one clear spelling rule at a time makes it easier to remember and use. Second, moving from single words to full sentences shows students how the ing form works when they write about actions happening right now. Third, the steady pattern of base word, doubled letter, and ending builds the kind of word awareness that supports both reading and spelling.
Teachers and parents can extend the lesson with simple activities. Call out short verbs and let children hop, clap, or jog while they spell the ing word aloud. Sort word cards into verbs that double and verbs that just add ing. Ask students to find doubled ing words in a favorite book, copy them, and underline the doubled letters. Then have them write a silly sentence using three words from this Adding ING Suffix Worksheet.
