(quiz starts below)

Fascinating Fact:

Contractions make two words into one, and they use an apostrophe. “Do not” becomes “don’t”, and “I am” becomes “I’m”.

In KS1 English Spelling, a Year 2 spelling review checks lots of skills you have learnt already. You might practise tricky words, common spelling patterns, and how to choose the right letters when words sound similar.

Key Terms

Spelling pattern: A rule that helps you spell a group of words, like adding -ed for the past.
Tricky word: A word that does not follow an easy rule, so you often need to learn it by heart.
Proofread: To check your writing and fix spelling mistakes before you finish.

What should my child check when proofreading a sentence?

They should check capital letters, full stops, and tricky words. They can also look for the right spelling pattern, such as -ed, -ing, or a prefix.
