2014 UK Curriculum
The 2014 UK primary curriculum has statutory requirements for which graphemes (spelling patterns) should be taught in Year 2. The SaveTeachersSundays.com Year 2 Spelling & Handwriting Book has been created specifically to meet these requirements. The pages with images for the target words cover the new graphemes for Year 2. The pages with the target words given in sentences are for revision of the graphemes from Year 1 (as required by the 2014 primary curriculum).

Free Spelling Games
You can find over 350 spelling games to accompany this book at SaveTeachersSundays.com. The passwords to access the games are included in this book. Dictation sentences, lesson plans and other teaching resources can also be purchased separately at SaveTeachersSundays.com.

Which version of the book should I use?
This book is part of a series of spelling and handwriting books for Years 1 to 6. There are 3 versions of each book:
1) plain text (with no words to trace over)
2) cursive / joined up WITHOUT lead-in strokes
3) cursive / joined up WITH lead-in strokes (not available on Amazon, only available to download from SaveTeachersSundays.com)
At SaveTeachersSundays.com, we recommend using the second option – cursive / joined-up without lead-in strokes. You can find out more about the rationale for this recommendation on our website. However, we understand that different schools, teachers and parents will have different policies and opinions about handwriting; hence we provide these 3 different versions of each book to accommodate everyone’s preferences.

Content
The easiest way to decide if you should buy the book is to use the ‘Look Inside Feature’. Each page includes ‘Teaching Tips’ for the spelling patterns being covered. Children are then presented with a list of words with the relevant spelling patterns. Half of the pages present each word with a colourful, child-friendly image. The other half give each target word in a sentence, so that children understand what the word means. Pages with target words given in sentences divide the target words into ‘good’ and ‘naughty’ words, to draw children’s attention to regular spelling patterns and to words that are spelt in irregular ways.

Structured Teaching Sequence
As much as possible given the requirements of the 2014 primary curriculum, children are only introduced to one new grapheme at a time. For example, the word ‘wrong’ would not be used to teach the pattern -ng if the spelling pattern of wr- had not been taught previously.

Biografía del autor

I taught for 4 years in an outstanding primary school in London. As a Newly Qualified Teacher (NQT), I had a child in my class who was dyslexic. I had no training on how to teach dyslexic children and just getting through my first year of teaching was taking up all of my effort and time. As a result, I know I failed this child.

When I found out towards the end of that year that I was going to have another dyslexic child in my class the following year, I was determined that the same thing would not happen again. So I began to learn about how to support dyslexic children and enrolled on a Postgraduate Diploma in Dyslexia and Literacy. When this girl started Year 3 in my class, she did not want to come to school anymore. She had no confidence. She was intelligent and realised that she was falling behind her peers in reading and spelling. By the end of the year, she had made huge progress and regained her confidence.

During this time, I had also setup a website (SaveTeachersSundays.com) to share the lesson plans and resources that I had made with other teachers. I wondered how many other teachers found themselves in the same position as I had been - with a dyslexic child in their class, and no training or knowledge of how to best help them. This website became a vehicle for me to share my knowledge and expertise with other teachers.

Publishing the books that I have published on Amazon is another way for me to reach those teachers and parents who wish to support children who struggle with spelling. If you purchase any of these books or use the Spelling resources on SaveTeachersSundays.com, I hope you find that these help you to help the children in your life too.
