The worksheet titled "Using Spelling Patterns to Complete Words" has students focus on the letter combinations that make certain sounds. They practice filling in the correct letter combination of the spelling pattern in each word at the top of the page. For example, students practice the u sound by filling in the letter "u" in a word like "pulls" and the letter combination "oo" in a word like "stood."

They do the same at the bottom of the page, but they must also find the word in a string of letters. It can get tricky, so they must look closely! For example, the string of letters for "pull" includes other double letters, like "puull." They have to look carefully and use their problem-solving skills to find the correct spelling of each word.

It's important for students to be able to identify different spelling patterns and associate those patterns with different sounds. For example, the u sound is spelled with the letter u, but it is also spelled with the letter combination "oo." By knowing different letter combinations and their sounds, students can decode words, which helps them become more fluent readers and better spellers.
