Common Exception Words

In Year 3 we will start off by really consolidating and revising Year 1 and Year 2 Common Words. Please make sure you practise and are familiar with these lists.

Once you are confident with the Key Stage 1 Common Words, challenge yourself and move onto the Year 3/4 Common Words. Learning these will really help support you through your reading and writing.

Explore different ways of learning them! Try creating your own spelling bees, playing hangman, make your own wordsearches and much more. Use the Spelling ideas poster for some inspiration on how to help your child.
