  4. Spelling homework in Year 2 • During daily phonics lessons each week your child will learn a new spelling sound/pattern. • Spellings will be sent home linked to this sound/pattern in a spelling folder on a Friday. • The spelling test will take place the following Wednesday. • The spelling test will be carried out in a small spelling book which will stay in school. The spelling scores will be recorded in the spelling file. • Within the spelling folder you will also find the first 100 high frequency words. • By the end of year 2 your child will also need to be able to read and write the next 200 high frequency words and a list of ‘common exception words’. These will also be placed in the folder later in the year. • The high frequency words and common exception words may at times be additional spellings added into the weekly spelling test. • Spelling Shed
