KS2 · Ages 7–9

Year 3 & 4 Spelling Words

Years 3 and 4 introduce the statutory word list — 100 words that children must be able to spell by the end of Year 4. These include words like accident, appear, believe, calendar, caught, century, certain, complete, consider, and continue.

Unlike the KS1 common exception words, the Year 3 and 4 list contains many longer, multisyllabic words that require understanding of word roots and spelling patterns alongside rote memorisation.

Full word list with practice activities coming soon.
