Downloadable PDF materials for Year 2 spelling provide structured practice for these specific patterns.

When adding suffixes like -ing or -ed to short-vowel words (Consonant-Vowel-Consonant), the final consonant is doubled, as in hop → hopping . Plural Endings (-s/-es): Add -s for most nouns (e.g., cats ).

The letter q is almost always followed by u to make the /kw/ sound.

Students learn to distinguish between these spelling patterns for the /tʃ/ sound. Practice Resources
