KS1 English: Spelling — Challenge

Stretch KS1 spelling challenge: trickier words, tough plurals, more un- prefixes and the doubling rule. Auto-marked greater depth practice.

KS1 English: Spelling — Challenge is a greater-depth stretch activity book for Years 1–2 spelling, mapped to the DfE National Curriculum. Five demanding challenges push confident spellers through harder common exception words with unexpected letter groups, plurals that always need -es such as words ending in ch, sh, ss and x, the prefix un- added to longer root words, and the genuine Year 2 doubling-consonant rule before adding -ing, -ed, -er and -est. Challenges 1–4 hold around twenty auto-marked questions; Challenge 5 is an open spelling investigation — hunting for real doubling words, explaining the rule in the child’s own words, and writing a challenge sentence using several suffixes — with a full worked answer key. Includes teacher, parent and pupil notes and is fully SEND-friendly with high-contrast and large-text modes.
