Year 2 Spellings
This half term, we will be continuing to learn the Year 2 spelling rules as well as the Year 2 common exception words. Printed spellings will be sent home each Monday and tested the following Monday.
New spellings sent home – each Monday Spelling Quiz – following Monday
Task – The children will be sent home with ten spellings each week. For this half-term, the spellings will be common exception words (we refer to them as ‘red’ / ‘tricky’ words at school) and words that follow Year 1 spelling rules.
Common exception words are words that do not follow regular phonics patterns. Therefore, they are words that we need to learn how to spell.
The spellings should be practised everyday using the look-say-cover-write-check method:
LOOK carefully at the word
SAY the word aloud a few times
COVER the word with their hand
WRITE it down on their spellings sheet
CHECK if they were correct
