Spelling List 24: Dropping E and Doubling Worksheets for 5th Grade

What your child practices

These 6 worksheets turn the dropping e and doubling word list into 84 questions for 5th grade (Grade 5 in Canada). By upper elementary, spelling depends on patterns, prefixes and suffixes as much as sounds, so each list groups words that share a pattern. The sheets cover Word Practice, ABC Order, Missing Letters, Unscramble, Fill in the Sentence and Spelling Test. Each sheet supports Common Core L.5.2e, covering capital letters, punctuation and spelling. In Canada it matches the BC curriculum for Grade 5. 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.
• Ask your child to sort the words by pattern and explain the rule they notice.
• Spread the sheets across the week: one a day works better than all at once.
