TheSchoolRun.com closure date
As we informed you a few months ago, TheSchoolRun has had to make the difficult decision to close due to financial pressures and the company has now ceased trading. We had hoped to keep our content available through a partnership with another educational provider, but this provider has since withdrawn from the agreement.
As a result, we now have to permanently close TheSchoolRun.com. However, to give subscribers time to download any content they’d like to keep, we will keep the website open until 31st July 2025. After this date, the site will be taken down and there will be no further access to any resources. We strongly encourage you to download and save any resources you think you may want to use in the future.
In particular, we suggest downloading:
- Learning packs
- All the worksheets from the 11+ programme, if you are following this with your child
- Complete Learning Journey programmes (the packs below include all 40 worksheets for each programme)
You should already have received 16 primary school eBooks (worth £108.84) to download and keep. If you haven’t received these, please contact us at [email protected] before 31st July 2025, and we will send them to you.
We are very sorry that there is no way to continue offering access to resources and sincerely apologise for the inconvenience caused.
Year 2 common exception words flashcards
What are common exception words?
Common exception words are those tricky words in English that don't follow the typical spelling patterns or pronunciation rules. They're like the rebels of the language world, breaking the rules and doing their own thing.
When your child encounters common exception words, they might struggle because these words don't play by the rules they've been taught so far. They're often irregular in spelling or pronunciation, so they require special attention and practice.
In primary school, teachers focus on teaching these words separately because they can't be sounded out or spelled phonetically like most words. Instead, your child will need to memorise them by sight.
As a parent, you can support your child's learning of common exception words by practicing them together, using flashcards or games, and reinforcing them in everyday reading and writing activities.
How will these flashcards of common exception words help my Year 2 child?
These teacher-created flashcards will help your child learn common exception words by embedding the word into their memory through repetition, visual prompts and written practice. They are encouraged to trace the words, write them out independently on the cards, then (with some adult help) cut the cards out and use them to test their knowledge.
