Written by experienced teachers, SpellNow Year 2 Challenge is aligned to the US Common
Core Curriculum and provides students with the essential building blocks of spelling. Targeting
the emergent and transitional stages of spelling, this app helps students make the spelling-
meaning connection that is necessary to become a good speller. SpellNow Year 2 Challenge
covers a broad range of skills from common vowel teams (ou, ow, oi, oy, oo and ou),
ambiguous vowels (ou, oo and ea), two-syllable words with long vowels, initial sounds (th-, br-,
cl- and wh-), final sounds (-nd, -ng, -nt and –mp), tri-blends (scr-, str-, spr-, shr-, thr- and squ-),
plurals, past tense, hard and soft c and g, silent letters, r-controlled vowels, w-influenced
vowels, homophones, compound words and ordinal numbers, to name a few.

SpellNow Year 2 Challenge is organised into four, ten-week terms so that students can work on
their spelling all year around. Each spelling list is organised according to letter-sound patterns
and word family groupings. This allows students can make sense of spelling as they move from
simple spelling patterns to less frequently used words with difficult spelling patterns.

Six interactive spelling games cater to different learning styles - visual, auditory and
kinaesthetic. Each spelling game stimulates students’ sensory skills by transporting them to a
fun and vibrant environment where they interact with quirky characters to develop their
spelling, vocabulary, capitalization, punctuation and dictation. SpellNow Year 2 Challenge is a
totally interactive learning experience that is fun and rewarding. Begin your journey to spelling
