Build on core literacy skills and unlock new confidence with the Year Two English collection from Hands-On Education. Made for children aged 6–7, this collection includes lesson packs, creative activities, and printable resources supporting all aspects of English—reading, writing, speaking, listening, grammar, and vocabulary.

Year Two English activities are designed to boost fluency and understanding. Children explore spelling patterns, sentence building, and accurate punctuation through fun, practical practice. Resources include guided reading questions, writing prompts, word games, sequencing cards, short comprehension texts, and structured grammar challenges. Pupils practise reading for meaning, answering “who,” “what,” “where,” “when,” and “why” questions—developing skills for independent reading and thoughtful discussion.

Creative writing is supported with story planners, poetry starters, picture prompts, and character description sheets, helping learners structure and expand their ideas. Resources foster an appreciation for both fiction and non-fiction, encouraging children to write diary entries, letters, factual reports, and simple reviews. Children talk about new books, act out scenes, and collaborate on retelling or innovating familiar stories—deepening their speaking and listening abilities.

The collection is packed with visual aids and printable worksheets, giving teachers and parents flexible tools for the classroom or home. Activities connect English to other subjects; a nature journal may combine science and creative writing, or an art project might inspire new vocabulary and poetry. Differentiated worksheets support a wide range of learners, with extra prompts for those needing practice and extension tasks for confident writers.

Lesson resources are clear, visual, and engaging, making planning and delivery straightforward for every adult. Browse the Year Two English shop for resources that help every child become a skilled, passionate communicator—ready to take on the next adventures in literacy.
