Grade 5 Spelling Worksheet
Pick the ending that spells the word. Write the whole word on the line.
inven- ( sion · shun · tion )
deci- ( shun · tion · sion )
ac- ( tion · sion · shun )
divi- ( sion · shun · tion )
sta- ( shun · tion · sion )
televi- ( tion · sion · shun )
vaca- ( sion · shun · tion )
vi- ( shun · tion · sion )
frac- ( tion · sion · shun )
colli- ( sion · shun · tion )
collec- ( shun · tion · sion )
confu- ( tion · sion · shun )
The endings -tion and -sion sound the same, so the spelling has to be remembered: invention and action end in -tion, while decision and mission end in -sion. On this fifth grade sheet each of twelve items shows the start of a word and three ways to end it (tion, sion or shun), and the child writes the whole word on the line.
Six words on each sheet end in -tion and six in -sion. Each version has different words, and the answer key gives every word.
Common Core standard: L.5.4.B
inven + tion = invention, and deci + sion = decision.
Spelling the ending the way it sounds (shun) or choosing -sion for a word that takes -tion.
Say the whole word and picture it. If you have seen it written, you know which ending looks right.
