It would be good practice for them to include each word in a different sentence, to demonstrate that they understand how to use the word in context. Remember to underline the word that they have included in the sentence. Your child will bring their spelling books home on Friday, so that you can see their spellings scores, however, make sure they bring their spelling books to hand in to their teacher on Mondays.
ON-LINE SATs PRACTISE
Over the next couple of weeks, we will be preparing for the upcoming SATs. Each week, your child will bring home their practice papers so you can review their progress and identify any areas that may need extra attention. Please encourage your child to use the following website to continue practicing their SATs online.https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zrybvk7#zs82p9q

READING
Please make sure your child is reading their reading book as they will need to take a quiz to assess their understanding of the book. This is why they must read the book and comprehend what they have read. In Year 2, your child will be building up a range of reading skills. They should have strong phonics knowledge and growing comprehension skills, which will help them read more broadly, confidently, and fluently. Please encourage your child to read for at least 10 minutes each day. Ask them to read aloud to a member of your family. Remember to talk about the book.
