Year 2 Summer spelling resources

Support spelling alongside the Year 2 Summer SPaG lessons with our structured Year 2 Summer spelling resources. This spelling strand helps pupils master the statutory spelling patterns taught during the Summer term while continuing to build confidence with common exception words.

Across the Summer term, you’ll find a complete collection of Year 2 spelling resources, including a spelling overview and rationale, weekly spelling lists, popular spelling rules PowerPoints, Look, Say, Cover, Write, Check sheets, dictation activities, weekly spelling tests and handwriting sheets in your chosen font. These resources make it easy to teach, practise and assess spelling throughout the term.

Designed to sit alongside the Summer SPaG lesson sequence, these spelling resources reinforce the grammar taught each week while introducing new suffixes, spelling patterns, common exception words and homophones from the Year 2 National Curriculum.

Summer spelling progression

The Year 2 Summer spelling strand follows a carefully sequenced progression that complements the Summer SPaG lessons while introducing pupils to the statutory spelling patterns from the Year 2 National Curriculum. Throughout the Summer term, pupils learn and apply:

  • Suffixes including -ment, -ness, -ful, -less and -ly
  • Words ending in -le, -el, -al and -il
  • The /er/ sound spelt or and the /or/ sound spelt ar after w
  • The /or/ sound spelt a and the /u/ sound spelt o, alongside common exception words
  • The /zh/ sound and words ending in -tion
  • Common homophones, with regular consolidation and review weeks

Weekly spelling resources, spelling rules PowerPoints, handwriting sheets, Look, Say, Cover, Write, Check activities, dictation tasks and spelling tests give pupils regular opportunities to revisit, practise and apply each spelling pattern before moving on to the next.

These spelling resources are designed to be taught alongside the Year 2 Summer SPaG lessons, helping pupils make clear links between spelling, grammar and writing throughout the term.
