Dear Parents and Carers of children in Year 1,
Below, you will find a list of the words we would like Year 1 children to be able to spell by the time they move into Year 2. We would welcome your support in learning these words. Any time, however little you can give to this, would be greatly appreciated. Please note, we do not expect you to spend longer than 10- 15 minutes a week on this task at this stage.
The list is split into the RWinc Phases. We would hope that children can already spell the ‘red’ level words but you may like to revise these. For the next half term, we suggest you look at the green words before moving onto purple after half term and so on.
Our advice is to focus on two or three words at a time and move on when your child can spell these, revising them every now and then.
We will be working with the same words in school so, if you are struggling to get your child to engage with this at the moment, please be assured that they will still receive some teaching on this.
Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any queries regarding this.
Best wishes,
The Year 1 Team
