Direct Speech & speech marks complete lesson KS2 SPAG English & Literacy for Year 4 Year 5 Year 6

A complete, short KS2 SPAG lesson (slideshow and 3 worksheets, approx 1 - 1.5 hours), practicing the correct use of direct speech, and use of synonyms of said. Ideal for Year 4, Year 5 or Year 6 (as revision and practice for SATS).

This includes a complete slideshow (approx 30 minutes input), outlining how to punctuate direct speech, an introducing students to use of different synonyms of said to convey emotion. This also includes three worksheets (approx 40 minutes independent work) to complete, practicing these skills. 2 of the worksheets can be stuck into books and with work written directly on to them, and the final one is designed so that children write their answers directly into their book, as opposed to on the sheet.

My Year 4 class found this very useful, and my Year 6 class used this as practice in the weeks leading up to the KS2 SATs.
