How to use the year 2 spelling word lists
These year 2 spelling word lists serve as a guideline for the spelling skills expected of students at this level, based on the National Curriculum. Incorporate these lists into weekly spelling tests or use them for daily practice. The lists can also be used for homework exercises allowing students to practice at home. Additionally, the editable template allows you to customise the lists to cater to individual student needs, reinforcing challenging words or introducing new vocabulary.
How to use the year 2 spelling words template
This editable template allows teachers to copy and paste directly from the word lists, saving time and ensuring children have a clear and correct spelling list to practise from.
The year 2 spelling words template includes the following sections to help students practise and build their spelling skills:
- ‘Look’ — to help children observe the correct spelling of the word.
- ‘Say' — to encourage children to pronounce the word out loud.
- 'Cover' — children can hide the correct spelling and attempt to spell the word from memory.
- ‘Write' — children write the word without looking at the correct spelling.
- ‘Check’ — children compare their spelling to the correct spelling to identify any mistakes.
This method promotes active learning and reinforces memory recall.
