Year 5 Spelling

This collection of Year 5 spelling worksheets and resources helps target specific spelling rules and topics. Rules and topics include prefixes and suffixes, long and short vowels, comparatives and superlatives, silent letters and more.

Use the filter above to narrow the results by resource type.

The collection includes sets for common prefixes such as im, il, ir, in and mis, dis, non, along with suffixes like -able/-ible, -al, -ous, and -ive. There are also worksheets that deal with tricky endings such as -cious/-tious and patterns like -le word endings.

You’ll also find work on comparative and superlative forms, as well as vowel patterns where the same sound can be spelled in different ways (such as au, aw, and other ambiguous vowel combinations).

Each pattern is grouped into its own set, so the focus stays on one rule at a time while still covering a wide range of word forms.
