Fast KS1 spelling recall: tricky words, plurals, the prefix un- and speedy suffixes. Free, auto-marked practice — play now!
KS1 English: Spelling — Quick Burst is a fast-recall activity book mapped to the DfE National Curriculum for Years 1–2 spelling. Five short rounds drill common exception words, adding -s or -es to make plurals, the prefix un- to make opposites, quick suffixes such as -ing, -ed, -er and -est, and a final speedy round mixing sound-segmenting with homophones. Every round is auto-marked on screen with a full answer key, or the whole book can be printed for a timed challenge. Includes teacher, parent and pupil notes and is fully SEND-friendly with high-contrast and large-text modes.
