(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.

Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)

What is a spelling review in Year 2?

A Year 2 spelling review is a practise task that mixes different spelling rules and tricky words you have learnt, so you can show you remember them.

How can I help my child get better at spelling in Year 2?

Practise little and often, say the word slowly, spot a pattern, and use it in a short sentence. Reading lots also helps children notice correct spellings.

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.

4. The bird was ____ as it flew around the flower.
[ ] huming
[ ] humin

It happens to be a hummingbird. The word 'hum' has a short vowel sound, so we need to double the last letter then add 'ing'.

Here we are joining the words would and not together but erasing the 'o'.
