Common Long Vowels (2) Word Search (Yr1)
Year 1 Spelling
This collection of Year 1 spelling worksheets and resources helps target specific spelling rules and topics. Rules and topics include blends and digraphs, long and short vowels, bossy e, diphthongs and more.
Use the filter above to narrow the results by resource type.
These Year 1 spelling worksheets follow a clear set of patterns, starting with blends and moving into common vowel and digraph combinations.
The collection includes initial r, l, and s blends, along with final blends, so students get repeated practice with common consonant clusters. From there, the worksheets move into vowel patterns, including diphthongs (oi, oy), long vowels (ai, ay, ee, ea, y, oa, ew, ue), and the bossy e rule.
There are also sets that focus on contractions (is not → isn’t) and short vowel patterns such as e and ea, giving students exposure to how spelling changes across different word types.
Each topic is grouped separately, so you can work through one rule at a time rather than mixing patterns too early. This keeps the focus on recognising and using each spelling pattern in isolation before combining them later.
