Are your class ready to tackle words such as occupy, suggest or achieve? Then our Year 5 Common Exception Words Resource Pack 6 is the perfect download for you! You'll have access to a teaching PowerPoint and five different activities where children can apply their newly learnt spelling skills.

Let's dive deeper into the resources you'll get. Our teaching PowerPoint explains what common exception words are, and it gives plenty of examples that children will come across in Key Stage 2. The resource begins with a question based on words children should already know and finishes with a question to get children thinking about the new common exception words they have learnt.

We'd recommend using the five activities after children have worked their way through the PowerPoint. These activities can be completed in class, as a homework task, or form an intervention for those that find these spelling tricky. Each activity requires a different skill from spotting the mistakes to understanding clues about the word list given to complete a crossword. We feel these resources will put the fun back into how children learn their spellings!
