Spelling List 34: Endings Er and or Worksheets for 3rd Grade

What your child practices

List 34 is a 3rd grade spelling list (Grade 3 in Canada) built around endings er and or, with 6 worksheets and 72 questions. By upper elementary, spelling depends on patterns, prefixes and suffixes as much as sounds, so each list groups words that share a pattern. The set includes Word Practice, ABC Order, Missing Letters, Unscramble, Fill in the Sentence and Spelling Test. The skill matches Common Core L.3.2f, the standard for capital letters, punctuation and spelling. In Canada it matches the BC curriculum for Grade 3. Every PDF prints on US letter paper, with the answer key on page 2 for quick checking. After printing, the online version gives instant feedback and reads each question aloud.

Tips for parents

• Have your child mark the part of each word that is tricky, then practice just that part.
• Spread the sheets across the week: one a day works better than all at once.
• Finish the week with a short spelling test using the same words in a new order.
