About this worksheet

Many English words are built from Latin roots: port means to carry (transport), dict means to say (predict) and rupt means to break (interrupt). Knowing the root helps a reader spell a long word one part at a time. On this fifth grade sheet each of ten items shows one part of a word and three endings, and the child picks the ending that makes a real word and writes the whole word on the line.

Each version has different words, and the answer key gives every word.

What your child will learn

  • Know the roots port, dict and rupt
  • Spell a word one part at a time
  • Tell a real word from a made-up one
  • Use the root to remember the spelling

Common Core standard: L.5.4.B

Worked example

trans- and port make transport (port means to carry).

Common mistake

Spelling the root the way it sounds, such as ruptt or dikt, instead of keeping the whole root.

Helpful hint

Look for the root (port, dict or rupt) in the ending that makes a real word.
