This Grade 2 worksheet introduces two core spelling rules: doubling the final consonant before -ing and dropping silent e before -ing. Students sort base words like hop and bake into the correct pattern, then complete sentences with forms like hopping, stopping, baking, and smiling. True or false items check if they noticed when the spelling changes. It is a gentle first step for Grade 2 children learning how small endings reshape everyday action words.
