Welcome to Year 2!
Each day, please bring the following to school:
- A water bottle
- Reading book issued by school
We come to school in our PE kits on the following days:
2B: Monday and Thursday
2Y: Monday and Thursday
Spellings linked to the learning in school will be issued on a Friday. Please help your child to learn their given spellings at home before a test the following Friday. The spellings will be dictated into sentences in order to help your child to understand the meaning of the word and apply the spelling to a realistic context. If you want more support with how to help with spelling, use these strategies:
Year 2's Long Term Plan
Reading
At the beginning of the year, your child will receive a reading book linked to the phonics learning for that week. Once the phonics programme has been completed, your child will be assessed using Accelerated Reader. This will give your child a reading level linked to their individual attainment and they will then bring home books directly linked to it. Once your child has finished this book, they will complete a quiz linked to their comprehension of the text which will then determine the level from which future books are chosen.
Please read with your child every night for 10 minutes so that your child can practise their fluency. Asking questions about what they have read is important to develop their comprehension.
Each time your child's book is changed, their name will be placed into a raffle to win a prize the end of a half term. The more your child reads, the more likely that they will win!
Here are 50 recommended books for Year 2.

Spelling
There are words which your child should know how to spell and use in their writing by the end of Year 2. These are called common exception words because they don't follow a spelling rule.
These are built into the weekliy spelling sent home each week.
