Decoding words represents a fundamental literacy skill that Year 2 students must master to become confident, independent readers. Wayground's comprehensive collection of decoding worksheets provides systematic practice in breaking down unfamiliar words using phonetic strategies, sight word recognition, and contextual clues.
