Adjectives Reading

Circle the adjectives in this reading.

Yesterday I went to a new museum. I like to look at the beautiful art. I looked in a big room that had large statues. Many of the statues were very tall.

The next room I visited had many old paintings. The paintings were painted by famous artists. The paintings were incredible.

After the museum I went for a walk on the street. It was lunchtime so the street was busy. The traffic was loud and people walked everywhere. The street was tiny and there were big trucks and vans.

I decided to have lunch because I was hungry. The restaurant I went to was beautiful, and the food smelled delicious. I ate pasta with white sauce. For dessert I had pie with ice cream. The food was wonderful, and it was a great day.

Comparative Adjectives Reading

Circle the comparative adjectives in this reading.

My brother and I like to watch soccer. Yesterday we went to see a game between our two favourite teams, the Eagles and the Hawks. We were excited because I love the Hawks and he loves the Eagles.

The seats were good, but I wanted something closer to the field. We argued about our teams. He always says the Eagles are faster, stronger, and smarter than the Hawks. I never agree. On this day, he was wrong. The Hawks played much better than the Eagles. They looked stronger and faster than the Eagles.

The food and the drinks were more expensive than other stadiums, and they tasted much worse. I was surprised that a hotdog and a drink cost $7. Also, the hotdog was smaller than normal hotdogs. So I was a little sad about my food, and I hoped to get something tastier after the game. But I was happy because the Hawks beat the Eagles by 15 points.

Comparative and Superlative Spelling

Sometimes, when you add “er” or “est” to an adjective, you need to change the spelling. ”

Take a look at the chart and answer the questions below.

1. Which adjectives changed the spelling when they became comparative and superlatives?

2. What was the change?

3. What adjectives did not change?

Not sure of the answers? Take a look at the answers on the next page.

Adjective Comparative SuperlativeOld Older OldestHot Hotter HottestLong Longer LongestBig Bigger Biggest








1. Which adjectives changed? Hot and Big

2. What was the change?The final consonant doubled when adding “er” or “est”.• Big -- Bigger

3. What adjectives did not change?Old and Long

On the next page, we will discover the rule for these changes.









Now, let’s try to find the rule for why we double the consonant when we add “er” or “est”.

Think about these questions:

1. What is different about the two groups? (hot and big) (old and long)

Not sure? You can find a hint on the next page.









Hint 1: Take a look at the letters at the end of the adjectives. What is similar for the adjectives that changed and the adjectives that didn’t change?

Hint 2: Think about consonants and vowels.


Still not sure? You can find the answer on the next page.










Hot and big end with a vowel then a consonant. Old and long end with two consonants.

So, what is the spelling rule for comparative and superlative adjectives?

1. Double the consonant when the adjective ends with

2. Do not double the consonant when the adjective ends with

Not sure of the answers? You can find them on the next page.









1. Double the consonant when the adjective ends with a vowel and a consonant.

2. Do not double the consonant when the adjective ends with two consonants.

But, wait. There is more to the rule than that. Let’s look at the full rule on the next page.









Double the consonant when the adjective ends with a vowel and a consonant.

Hot – HotterBig – Bigger

Cheap – CheaperClean – Cleaner

Why don’t cheap and clean double the consonant? What is different than hot and big?

Hint: Think about short and long vowel sounds.

Can you see what is different?

Not sure? You can find the difference on the next page.








Double the consonant when the adjective ends with a vowel and a consonant.

Hot – HotterBig – Bigger

Cheap – CheaperClean – Cleaner

What is different?

Hot and big are short vowel sounds.Cheap and clean have long vowel sounds.

We only need to double the consonant when the vowel is short.

So, that changes our rule a little.

Do not double the consonant when the word ends in a short vowel and a consonant or when the word ends with two consonants.

Double the final consonant when the word ends in a short vowel and then a consonant.

Yesterday my brother and I went to see a football game. We watched our two favourite teams, the Eagles and the Hawks. It was the second week of the season and the day was more colder than the week before.

My brother and I like different teams. He thinks the Eagles are faster, stronger, and more smart than the Hawks. I never agree. On this day, he was wrong. The Hawks played a lot better than the Eagles. They looked more stronger than the horrible Eagles.

The food and the drinks were expensiver than other places, and tasted much worse. I was surprised that a hotdog and a drink cost $7. Also, the hotdog was more small than normal hotdogs. So I was a little sad about my meal, and hoped to get something tastier after the game. But I was happy because the Hawks beat the Eagles by 15 points.

Yesterday my brother and I went to see a football game. We watched our two favourite teams, the Eagles and the Hawks. It was the second week of the season and the day was more colder than the week before.

My brother and I like different teams. He thinks the Eagles are faster, stronger, and more smart than the Hawks. I never agree. On this day, he was wrong. The Hawks played a lot better than the Eagles. They looked more stronger than the horrible Eagles.

The food and the drinks were expensiver than other places, and tasted much worse. I was surprised that a hotdog and a drink cost $7. Also, the hotdog was more small than normal hotdogs. So I was a little sad about my meal, and hoped to get something tastier after the game. But I was happy because the Hawks beat the Eagles by 15 points.
