Year 2 -tion and -sion Words Worksheets (898-900)

Help your pupils practise spelling words ending in -tion and -sion with this clear and carefully structured Year 2 spelling worksheet set. These worksheets focus on the common ‘shun’ sound, helping children recognise when words are usually spelt with -tion and when some words are spelt with -sion.

This worksheet set is ideal for building confidence with spelling patterns, word endings and vocabulary. Pupils practise sorting words, completing missing endings, choosing the correct spelling, matching words to meanings and using words correctly in sentences.

The activities include useful Year 2 words such as station, question, fiction, addition, division, decision, television, revision, collection, direction, subtraction and section. The tasks are designed to support spelling accuracy while also helping pupils understand the meaning of each word.

This resource is suitable for Year 2 spelling lessons, homework, morning work, intervention groups, revision activities and independent practice. It is also useful for children preparing for SATs-style spelling and grammar tasks in the UK, as well as pupils building spelling and vocabulary confidence for NAPLAN-style literacy practice.

The set includes three differentiated worksheet levels, making it easy to support a range of learners within the same class. Each worksheet comes with a matching answer sheet, so pupils, teachers and parents can check work quickly and easily.
