Fascinating Fact:

The endings -ild and -ind can look similar, so it helps to read the word carefully. Looking at the middle letter, l or n, can help you choose.

In KS1 English Spelling, pupils learn to notice letter patterns at the end of words. For -ild and -ind, the key is checking the middle letter so you do not mix up words like wild and wind.

  • Letter pattern: A group of letters you often see together in words.
  • Middle letter: The letter in the centre that helps you choose the right spelling.
  • Check back: To re-read a word to make sure it looks right.
What are -ild and -ind endings in Year 2 spelling?

They are common word endings made from three letters. Words can end in -ild, like “wild”, or -ind, like “find”. Learning them helps you spell these words correctly.

How do I stop mixing up wild and wind?

Look closely at the middle letter and say it as you write. “Wild” has the letter l in the middle, and “wind” has the letter n in the middle.

What is a quick spelling check for -ild and -ind words?

Cover the word, write it, then uncover and compare the middle letter. If the l or n is wrong, fix it straight away and write the word again once.
