YEAR 2 SPELLINGS

Dear Parents

Next Friday 14th November there will be a test of the 'Week 2' common exceptional words that are wild, climb, most, only, both, old, cold, gold, hold, and told.

The Year 2 homework document lists the common exception words (CEW or "Red Words") to be learned each week in every half term; the link is here https://primarysite-prod-sorted.s3.amazonaws.com/reigate-parish-cofe-aided-primary-school/UploadedDocument/c2884de3-3e13-4657-a264-7d5a4bc78bf5/year-2-homework-1.pdf.

We will be sending home the children with a checklist of the Year 1 and 2 Red Words that you can use to help your child learn them. We do practice the “week 2” words in class ahead of the test on 14th November. These spellings relate to writing targets set by the Government, that state children are expected to know most words on the Year 1 CEW list, and many words on the Year 2 list, by the end of Year 2.

Many thanks for your support

The Year 2 Team
