About this resource
Focus on the past-tense spelling change for verbs that already end in e. A reminder and worked example show students how to add d before they complete ten sentences with the supplied verbs. Use the answer page for checking, and highlight the original e to make the single-letter addition clear.
Curriculum reference — Ontario: Ontario Grade 2 morphological spelling fits directly; England Year 2 applies appendix spelling rules, with final-e suffix detail to verify. Selected skills only; reference stage is not an overall reading age, complete curriculum coverage, or an automatic recommendation for every learner.
