Year 2 Spelling practice, done properly

Spelling is one of the easiest areas to lift quickly — if a student practises the right words at the right level. This page gives you 525 ICAS Spelling Bee-style questions for Year 2 students across 15 tests, covering the spelling patterns, homophones, prefixes, suffixes and tricky words that actually show up at this year level. Every question explains why the correct spelling is right and why each distractor is wrong.

What Year 2 Spelling covers

Spelling patterns, homophones, prefixes/suffixes and tricky words, matched to the Year 2 Australian Curriculum scope:

CVC and CVCe words
Common digraphs (sh, ch, th, wh)
Simple plurals (-s, -es)
High-frequency sight words
Doubling rule for short vowels (hop → hopped)
Common homophones (to/too/two)
Simple compound words
Days, months and colour words
Basic contractions
Silent-letter starter words (know, write)

Try real questions — easy and hard

Tests are graded from an easy confidence-builder (Test 1, free to try in full) up to genuine ICAS-level challenge questions by Test 15. Here's one of each:

Sample Question — from our free Test 1
The children sat on the ______ to eat lunch.
A
grars
B
grase
C
grass
"grass" has the short /a/ vowel and ends in a double-s cluster. Double-s at the end of a short-vowel word is a standard English spelling pattern.
D
gras
Sample Question — Hard tier (Test 15)
Choose the CORRECT word to complete the sentence. All the ____ lined up for the bus.
A
children
'Children' is the special plural of 'child': chil-dren. Never add an 's' — 'childrens' is not a word.
B
childrens
C
childern
D
chilren
