Dear families,
Here are some websites I hope you will find useful for supporting spelling practise in Year 2.
https://www.spellzone.com/word_lists/lists_folder.cfm?Folder=67
Spellzone has lists of words containing all the spelling rules pupils are expected to learn in Year 2. There are also some interactive games on the site to aid practise. Our weekly spelling tests will indicate which spelling rules we are practising, so this is a useful place to look to find other words that use the same patterns.
http://www.phonicsplay.co.uk/freeIndex.htm
Phonics Play has free resources as well as some which require a subscription. It is full of useful activities for reviewing all the phases of phonics, and includes our ‘best bet’ rule for applying sounds in spelling.
Mr Thorne has video explanations of phonics, spelling rules and grammar. In Year 2, we are working on Phase 6 and reviewing earlier phases where appropriate.
I hope you find these useful, and many thanks for your continued support.
Thank you so much for the advice, it helped me so much
Katelyn
