Year 2 reading – Word reading
Pupils should be taught to:
Statutory requirements:

the graphemes taught so far, especially recognising alternative
sounds for graphemes
 read accurately words of two or more syllables that contain
the same graphemes as above
 read words containing common suffixes
 read further common exception words, noting unusual
correspondences between spelling and sound and where
these occur in the word
 read most words quickly and accurately, without overt
sounding and blending, when they have been frequently
encountered
 read aloud books closely matched to their improving phonic
knowledge, sounding out unfamiliar words accurately,
automatically and without undue hesitation

word reading
