Description
The suffix -ing turns a plain verb into an action that is happening right now — run becomes running and jump becomes jumping. Learning to add this ending correctly is an important early grammar and spelling skill, and it also helps young readers recognize action words as they read. This suffix ing worksheet gives second graders focused, hands-on practice building -ing words the right way.
Designed as a simple adding ing to verbs worksheet, this printable walks students through the three spelling rules for -ing: just add the ending, drop a silent e first, or double the final consonant. Kids read each base verb, add -ing, and write the new word on the line, then finish four sentences by choosing the correct -ing form. A quick reference box at the top keeps all three rules in view while they work, so it is easy to use independently, in centers, or as homework.
What’s Included
- 1 print-ready PDF worksheet
- Answer key
- 6 build-the-word practice items and 4 fill-in-the-blank sentences
This suffix ing worksheet helps children learn in three ways. First, the built-in spelling-rule chart teaches the drop-the-e and double-the-consonant patterns directly, instead of leaving kids to guess. Second, writing each new word by hand reinforces correct spelling and builds handwriting fluency. Third, the sentence activity shows how -ing verbs work inside real reading, so students connect each spelling rule to meaning rather than memorizing it in isolation.
Teachers and parents can extend the lesson in playful ways. Turn it into a quick game by calling out a verb and having children shout back the -ing form, or hunt for -ing words together in a favorite storybook. Write base verbs on index cards and let kids sort them by which spelling rule they follow, or act out action words while spelling them aloud for a movement break that makes grammar stick. A few minutes of practice like this each day builds lasting confidence with word endings.
