Print by grade
-
2nd grade
Adjectives grow endings to compare: tall, taller, tallest. Second graders learn the pattern with short, friendly adjectives and use the sentence's clues (than, of the two, of all) to write the right form.
-
3rd grade Core grade
Each print is a different sheet with its own answer key. You don't need to sign up.
Comparative adjectives (-er, or more) compare two things; superlatives (-est, or most) crown a winner among three or more. Third graders handle spelling changes along the way (big/bigger, happy/happiest) and learn which adjectives take more/most instead.
-
4th grade
Fourth graders work the full system: -er/-est with spelling changes, more/most for longer adjectives, and the irregulars good/better/best and bad/worse/worst. The sentence's comparison cue (than, of the two, in the whole school) always points to the answer.
