From common exception words to the four sentence forms, these Year 2 English lessons cover reading comprehension, writing, spelling, and grammar and punctuation: the areas pupils consolidate at the end of Key Stage 1. Each is a slide deck with a full teaching sequence you can present straight away, moving from modelled input to shared practice to independent application.

The lessons align to the KS1 English programme of study in the England National Curriculum. Pupils clarify the meanings of new words during reading, evaluate their writing with the teacher and other pupils, learn to spell common exception words, and write statements, questions, exclamations and commands.

Everything is editable in Chalkie: change the model text, swap the spelling words for your weekly list, or regenerate a slide for a different ability level. If you teach a mixed Year 1/2 class, the same deck can be adapted in both directions in minutes, saving hours of planning across a term.
