TIP: Before assigning this worksheet, review these guidelines:
If a one-syllable word ends with a vowel followed by a consonant, double the consonant before adding the suffix.
Do not double the final consonant in words that already end in two consonants, such as help and work.
Do not double the final consonant in words with two vowels before the final consonant, such as read and sleep.
As always, be sure to print and review this page before assigning it to your students. This way, you can be sure the difficulty level is appropriate for your students.
