What this practises: reading and spelling the Year 1 and Year 2 common exception words from the National Curriculum — words with spelling patterns that need to be learned rather than sounded out.
Suggested year group: Years 1 and 2.
How to help: focus on the tricky part of each word (the bit that doesn't sound like it's spelled) rather than the whole word. "Practise My Tricky Words" automatically collects words your child has got wrong before, stored only on this device.
What to try next: KS1 Phonics Practice is a good follow-up for words that follow regular phonics patterns.
