Common Spelling Patterns worksheet for students to write words matching given spelling patterns.

To solve this worksheet, we need to add beginning letters (called onsets) to the word endings (rimes) provided in the boxes. This creates new, real words. Here are some common and simple options for each group:

Top Row:
* ock: You can add l to make lock, r to make rock, s to make sock, or cl to make clock.
* ear: You can add b to make bear, p to make pear, t to make tear, or h to make hear.
* ight: You can add l to make light, n to make night, f to make fight, or m to make might.

Bottom Row:
* ate: You can add c to make cate (short for category, but maybe stick to simpler ones like late with l, mate with m, gate with g, or date with d). Let's use l (late), m (mate), g (gate), d (date).
* ool: You can add c to make cool, t to make tool, p to make pool, or sp to make spool.
* est: You can add b to make best, t to make test, n to make nest, or w to make west.

Since there are four lines for each rime, you can choose any four valid words for each column.
