Spelling

Year 3 will be doing a mixture of Year 2 and Year 3 spellings depending on their ability to apply them in their writing.

One strategy we use in the classroom is infusing spelling with handwriting. Why not check this at home if you'd like to see how much your child has progressed!

We will be covering Year 2 spelling patterns for the first half term of autumn as part of the children's recovery curriculum. After the October half term, Year 3 words will be focused on.

The spellings are covered during the school day and are integrated with handwriting skills, wordsearches and English lessons.

The '3A Overview' is the Y2 spellings that would have been covered summer 2020. We are going over them as part of the children's learning recovery.

Find below statutory spellings for Year 2 and common exception words. These are words which do not follow phonic rules exactly. E.g. door could be accidentally spelt dor as the sound of each letter is d-o-r.
