Comparative and Superlative Adjectives Activity Sheet:

Our degrees of comparison worksheets PDF pack is a fantastic resource to use during your English class! It is ideal for teaching your kids how to transform common words into comparatives and superlatives. The degrees of comparison worksheets PDF are split up into 3 different columns, one of which contains words that kids will be familiar with, such as happy, shy, kind, and sunny. The other columns offer space for kids to write the comparative and superlative version of each word.
