Spellings
Each week there will be a set number of spellings to learn but as we concentrate mainly on alternative spellings and spelling rules in Year 2, there will be some mystery spellings, too. Your child should try and think of other words where the spelling rule can be applied or alternative spelling of the focus sound is used.
By the end of Year 2, your child should be able to read all the Common Exception words for Year 1 and Year 2 and be able to spell most of them. We will have weeks where the focus will be on these words but we suggest that you keep looking at a few of these each week to help your child learn them.
Half Term Spellings
Over February half term, we are not giving any specific spelling lists. During the first week back, we will have a spelling quiz on the Common Exception Words for Year 2, focusing on the first half of the list. This will be a selection of words from the first four columns, ending with "class" from the list below. Please feel free to have a look through these words with your child over half term and practice any they are not confident with.
