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

Year 2 spelling PowerPoints for tricky spelling patterns and homophones

Support pupils as they explore more challenging spelling patterns with our Year 2 Summer 2 spelling lesson presentations. Covering Weeks 7–11 of the Mrs Mactivity spelling strand, these engaging spelling PowerPoints help children investigate tricky sound patterns, common exception words and homophones through clear teaching sequences and modelled examples.

Aligned with the National Curriculum for Year 2 spelling, these lesson presentations help pupils build confidence recognising how sounds can be represented in different ways. The presentations encourage discussion around spelling choices, pronunciation and word meaning while supporting children in applying spelling rules within their independent writing.

Summer 2 spelling focuses include:

• Week 7 – /er/ sound spelt ‘or’ and /or/ sound spelt ‘ar’ after w
• Week 8 – /or/ sound spelt ‘a’ and common exception words
• Week 9 – /u/ sound spelt ‘o’ and common exception words
• Week 10 – /zh/ sound and tion endings
• Week 11 – Homophones

Ideal for whole-class teaching, these Year 2 spelling PowerPoints support teachers in introducing weekly spelling patterns before pupils move on to spelling practice, dictation and independent application activities. Use alongside the Year 2 Summer spelling resources for full coverage of the Summer spelling strand.
