How many r’s and s’s are in embarrass? Give fourth graders focused practice with this commonly misspelled word in a printable Spell It Right independent work packet.
 
Students learn the meaning of embarrass, notice its double rr and double ss, and practice spelling the word in several ways. They put word chunks in order, complete missing letters, identify the correct spelling, and use the word in sentences. A short, humorous reading passage gives them another chance to see embarrass in context, followed by reading comprehension questions.
 
This packet includes:
A student-friendly definition and spelling reminder
Word chunk and letter-pattern practice
Correct-spelling, missing-letter, and unscramble activities
Sentence-writing and word-meaning practice
A funny fourth-grade reading passage with short-answer questions
 
These 4th grade spelling worksheets work well for independent practice because students revisit the same tricky word through reading, writing, and word study. The short activities are easy to fit into a spelling lesson without requiring a long block of class time. They also give students repeated practice with the double letters that make embarrass easy to misspell.
 
Use this printable packet for literacy centers, morning work, homework, spelling review, intervention, early finishers, or independent work. It is especially useful when students know what a word means but need more practice remembering how to spell it.
