Year 2 Spelling Strand Autumn 2 Lesson Presentations (Weeks 7–11)
Introduce each week’s spelling rule with our Year 2 spelling strand Autumn 2 lesson presentations, part of the Mrs Mactivity SPaG scheme. Designed for Weeks 7–11, these PowerPoints guide pupils through the spelling focus for each week before practising and testing the words.
Each presentation supports the teaching sequence set out in the Year 2 Autumn Spelling Overview and Rationale and is aligned with the National Curriculum. They provide clear examples, modelled spellings and opportunities for discussion, helping pupils understand word meanings, patterns and tricky parts.
- Week 7 – Compound and common exception words
- Week 8 – Common exception words focusing on the /oa/ sound
- Week 9 – Common exception words with the /igh/ sound
- Week 10 – The /igh/ sound spelt ‘y’ at the end of words (e.g. spy, cry, fly, dry, reply, July) :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
- Week 11 – Adding ‘es’ after words ending in ‘y’ (plurals and verbs), e.g. berries, parties, babies, tries, fries, replies :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
These Autumn 2 lesson presentations are ideal for introducing new spellings at the start of each week. Use alongside the Year 2 Autumn Spelling Resources, dictation passages and handwriting sheets for complete coverage of the Autumn term.
Combine with the full SPaG scheme to ensure progression in spelling, punctuation and grammar from Year 1 to Year 6.
