Year 2 Spellings
In spelling lessons, we will be using a new approach called ‘Active Spelling’. The children will focus on learning 10 words each week which are mostly based around spelling patterns. If you want to help your child with their spelling, you will find the weekly spellings on this page. You may also wish to look at a couple of the Year 2 Common Exception words each week from the list below.
Many thanks for all your support.
