Year 1 Spelling Words

Year 1 children learn common exception words as part of the National Curriculum — words that don't follow standard phonics rules and must be learned by heart, such as the, said, come, were, and there.

Regular short practice sessions — five minutes, three or four times a week — are far more effective than a long session the night before a test.
