These PDF worksheets, covering words ending in -sion, are an excellent way for children in Y3/4 to revise and practise these spelling patterns.

The worksheets include five different activities in which children look at spelling patterns, identify misspelt words and apply their spellings in context. Use them within lessons, as an assessment or as a homework task.

We’ve divided this primary resource into five sections:

  • Tips
    Advice and examples on when words with the ‘-sion’ suffix use a ‘sh’ or ‘zh’ sound, plus pupils need to tick which of these two sounds each of the words listed makes, and add an example of their own for each
  • Check
    Pick the correctly spelt words then place each word listed into the correct sentence
  • Use
    Use the images and words provided to write a sentence that includes each word
  • Change
    Read each sentence and change the underlined word or phrase for a synonym which includes the ‘-sion’ suffix
  • Apply
    Use the image provided to write a short passage using as many of the words listed as you can

What is a suffix?

Suffixes are letters, or groups of letters, that you add to the end of words to make a new word or change the meaning of a word.

Suffix examples

  • -est: widest, prettiest, kindest
  • -ier: dirtier, handier, zanier
  • -ity: audacity, capability, vanity
  • -less: homeless, painless, flavourless
  • -ness: fondness, smoothness, slipperiness

National Curriculum English programme of study links

Pupils’ spelling of common words should be correct, including common exception words and other words that they have learnt.

Pupils should spell words as accurately as possible using their phonic knowledge and other knowledge of spelling, such as morphology and etymology.

Read further exception words, noting the unusual correspondences between spelling and sound, and where these occur in the word.

Spell further homophones

Spell words that are often misspelt

Use the first two or three letters of a word to check its spelling in a dictionary
