High Frequency Words

High frequency words are words which occur frequently in the English language and in written texts. These are important words that the children need to learn how to read and write, and can start to practice from reception age. 

Common Exception Words

From year 1, common exception words are introduced. These are also words which occur regularly in the English language and in texts however, these words do not always follow spelling rules and patterns. They are split into year groups with an expectation that children are able to read and write these words by the end of that year group. The lists of these words are attached below.

Can you extend you spelling practice each week by trying to write each of the weekly spellings in a sentence.
