Spelling Strand Year 2 – Spring 2 – lesson presentations (Weeks 7–11)
Introduce each week’s spelling focus with our Year 2 Spring 2 spelling lesson presentations, part of the Mrs Mactivity SPaG scheme. These PowerPoints cover Weeks 7–11 of the Spring spelling strand, guiding pupils through the spelling rule or pattern for each week before practising and applying the words.
Each presentation supports the teaching sequence set out in the Spelling Scheme Spring overview and rationale and is aligned with the National Curriculum spelling appendix for Year 2. They include clear explanations, modelled examples and opportunities for discussion, helping pupils understand spelling patterns, word meanings and tricky parts.
Spring 2 spelling focuses included in these presentations:
- Week 7 – Adding -ed, -ing, -er and -est after y (e.g. copied, cried, happier, happiest)
- Week 8 – Adding -ed, -ing, -er, -est and -y after e (e.g. hiking, hiked, nicer, icy, shiny)
- Week 9 – Adding -ed, -ing, -er, -est and -y (doubling letters) (e.g. patting, patted, dropping, dropped, sadder, saddest, runner, runny)
- Week 10 – Apostrophes for contractions (e.g. can’t, won’t, hasn’t, couldn’t, it’s, she’s, I’ll, he’ll, you’ve, they’ve)
- Week 11 – Apostrophes for singular possession (e.g. Sam’s, girl’s, boy’s, child’s, man’s, woman’s, grandfather’s, grandmother’s, Mr, Mrs)
These Spring 2 spelling lesson presentations are ideal for introducing the weekly spelling list at the start of each week. Use alongside the matching Year 2 Spring spelling resources, dictation tasks and handwriting sheets for complete coverage of the spelling strand.
Combine with the full SPaG scheme to ensure progression in spelling, punctuation and grammar from Year 1 to Year 6.
