About this resource

Description

Suffixes are word endings like -able, -ed, -ful, -less, -ly, and -s that change the meaning or the job of a base word. This Suffix Fill in the Blank Worksheet helps students see how adding the right suffix completes a word and makes a whole sentence make sense. By choosing the proper suffix for each sentence, children build stronger spelling, vocabulary, and reading skills.

This 3rd grade suffixes worksheet gives students ten sentences, each missing a suffix at the end of a base word. A handy word bank at the top lists every suffix they will need. Students read each sentence, decide which suffix correctly completes the word, and write it on the line. Teachers can use it for independent practice, morning work, a literacy center, or a quick review before a quiz.

What’s Included

  • 1 print-ready PDF worksheet
  • Answer key
  • 10 fill-in-the-blank suffix sentences with a word bank

This Suffix Fill in the Blank Worksheet helps kids in three important ways. First, it strengthens word-building skills by showing how a single suffix can turn a base word into a new, meaningful word. Second, the sentence context helps students choose the correct suffix and understand how word endings change meaning. Third, the included answer key makes it easy to check work and reinforce correct spelling right away.

For more suffix fun, have students brainstorm other words that use each suffix from the word bank, or challenge them to write their own sentences with a missing suffix for a partner to solve. Sorting word cards by suffix, playing a suffix matching game, or hunting for suffixes in a favorite book are all hands-on ways to make these word endings stick at home or in the classroom.
