This Year 1 Common Exception Words worksheet set helps children practise reading, recognising, spelling and using key tricky words from the Year 1 curriculum. Common exception words can be difficult because they do not always follow the phonics patterns children expect, so this set gives pupils repeated practice in a clear, manageable way.
The worksheet set is differentiated across three levels: Triangles, Circles and Squares. The easier activities focus on recognising and matching common exception words, while the middle and harder levels move children towards spelling correction, sentence completion and writing their own sentences using the target words.
Children practise words including said, you, was, school, friend, the, today, come, some, one, where and there. The activities are designed to build confidence with high-frequency tricky words while also supporting early sentence writing and spelling accuracy.
This resource is ideal for Year 1 spelling homework, phonics revision, morning work, intervention groups, classroom practice or home learning. It also includes answer sheets, making it easy for teachers, parents or tutors to check work quickly.

Triangles level – word recognition, matching, sentence completion and correct spelling choices
