Spelling Quiz - Year 2 - The Best Sentence 1 (Questions)

This 'The Best Sentence 1' spelling quiz asks KS1 children to read whole sentences and spot the one with the correct spelling or spellings. This will aid their editing skills as well as test their knowledge on spellings. As an extension, you can ask the child what is wrong with the other three sentences and how to spell the incorrect word.

When we’ve written a sentence or a story, we should always read through our work again to make sure it is perfect. In each question only one sentence is perfect, the others have one or more spelling mistakes.
