Common Exception Words
We aim to ensure that all children are aware of, and can spell, the Year 1 and Year 2 common exception words before the end of Key Stage 1. Common exception words are words that children will come across frequently throughout their learning. Children will learn to read and spell these words during each phase as these words are decodable and use the sounds that have been taught.
