Spelling Strand Year 2 – Spring 2 – Lesson Presentations (Weeks 7–11)

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 our Year 2 Spring 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 when doubling the final letter (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)

These Spring 2 spelling lesson presentations are ideal for introducing the weekly spelling list at the start of each week. Use them alongside the matching Year 2 Spring spelling resources, including spelling lists, dictation activities, handwriting sheets and spelling tests, for complete coverage of the Spring spelling strand.
