At SpellingFrame you pick a year group, then a spelling rule, then get a word list to either view, print or test yourself with online.
So, for example, you can choose from adding suffixes beginning with vowel letters to words of more than one syllable, words with the /s/ sound spelt sc, homophones and near-homophones, and more.
In the interactive tests, children can opt to have the entire sentence read out, or just the word they need to spell.
Head to spellingframe.co.uk to check out all the options.
These review worksheets, covering the Year 2 homophones and near-homophone list from the English Programme of Study, are an excellent way to revise and practise these words.
