About the Common Exception Words Flash Cards: Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 Words - Perfect for Home Learning - with 109 Colourful Illustrations

Common Exception Words Flash Cards: Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 Words gives children aged 4–7 a colourful, character-led route into the 109 tricky words that break phonics rules. Featuring Foxton and friends across 57 double-sided cards, each word pairs with a memorable sentence and illustration, turning home practice into a confident daily habit that supports early reading and spelling success.

The cards divide words by colour: 45 blue entries target end-of-Year-1 mastery (ages 5–6), while 64 red entries guide Year 2 pupils (ages 6–7) through the next layer of exception vocabulary. Every card uses a cursive-style font approved within the National Literacy Strategy for Foundation and Key Stage 1 handwriting, so children see, say and trace the same letter forms they'll meet in school. Parents can shuffle the deck to revisit tricky spellings, build short sentences or play quick-fire recognition games that stick.

By anchoring abstract words to vivid pictures and simple context, the set builds phonics confidence without drills or worksheets. Children develop independent word recognition, stronger spelling instincts and a calm readiness for classroom assessments. The physical format—clear print, durable cards, no loose pages—suits kitchens, car journeys and bedtime revision, keeping exception-word practice light and repeatable.

Ideal for Reception through Year 2, this Foxton Books resource offers parents a structured, screen-free tool that complements synthetic phonics programmes and supports the English National Curriculum. Whether your child is starting to decode or polishing spelling ahead of Key Stage 1, the cards deliver focused, joyful repetition that turns exception words into everyday wins.

109 common exception words across Reception, Year 1 and Year 2, split into 45 blue (Year 1 target) and 64 red (Year 2 target) entries
57 double-sided cards featuring Foxton character illustrations and example sentences to aid memory retention
Cursive-style font aligned with National Literacy Strategy handwriting policies for Foundation Stage and Key Stage 1
