Spellings to practise at home from Year 1 to Year 6
Common Exception
Exception words are words in which the English spelling code works in an unusual or
uncommon way. They are not words for which phonics 'doesn't work', but they may be
exceptions to spelling rules, or words which use a particular combination of letters to
represent sound patterns in a rare or unique way. Please help your child to learn these at
home.
