About this worksheet
“Syllables in Longer Words” is sheet 3 of 30 in our free 3rd Grade Spelling & Word Study Worksheets collection, written for children aged 8–9. It focuses on syllables, one of two sheets in the set on that skill.
In the set it comes after “Suffixes: -ful, -less, -ly and -ness” and before “Doubling the Final Consonant”. Working through them in that order, one sheet a day, builds the skill a step at a time.
