English — Year 2
British Curriculum · Ages 6-7
Year 2 builds reading fluency and introduces joined-up handwriting. Grammar work covers past and present tense, question marks and exclamation marks, and using "and" to join ideas before more complex conjunctions arrive in Year 3.
Spelling moves beyond phonics into common exception words (words that don't follow regular spelling rules), and students begin reading simple non-fiction texts alongside stories.
