Tier 2 words are ones which children might encounter in text but are less likely to use in everyday conversation. As these words are often unfamiliar to children, they can sometimes act as a barrier to reading. We have chosen 48 Tier 2 words for this Year 6 pack.

The Tier 2 words in this pack (provided as small cards for table sharing, and larger for display) can be used by children to add more adventurous or formal vocabulary to their writing. The worksheets can also be used as a reading comprehension activity.

  • Teacher notes
  • Tier 2 word cards - small and large
  • Tier 2 word definitions - small and large
  • Tier 2 word sheet with definitions.
  • Tier 2 sentence worksheets
