This primary resource is divided into five sections:

  • Tips
    Tick which words are spelt correctly
  • Check
    Circle the words that are spelt correctly, and place the words into the correct sentences
  • Use
    Use the images, and the words underneath, to write a sentence about each
  • Change
    Read each sentence and change the underlined word or phrase for a new word, which should be one of the Year 2 common exception words
  • Apply
    Write a description of the picture, trying to use as many of the words listed as possible
