About KS1 English Spelling
Our KS1 English Spelling quizzes are written by teachers to support children in Year 1 and Year 2 as they learn to spell with confidence. Designed for ages 5–7, each quiz contains 10 focused questions with instant feedback to help pupils recognise patterns, apply rules and build accuracy.
Topics include phonics-based spelling, common exception words and simple suffixes such as “–ed” and “–ing”. Quizzes are short and replayable, making them ideal for retrieval practice and helping correct spellings transfer into everyday writing.
These quizzes support classroom learning, homework and home practice, while gently preparing children for the Year 2 SATs. All content aligns with official Government guidance: English programmes of study: key stages 1 and 2 .
