Fronted Adverbials Lesson KS2

This PowerPoint presentation, suitable for more than one lesson, provides a humourous report about a type of guinea pig called a trolley pig.

It gives examples of the key types of fronted adverbial - those starting using: prepositions, with, verbs ending in -ing, because, although, if, similes starting with ‘Like…’ and ‘As…as’, adjectives and adverbs of time (when, before etc).

The text also includes relative clauses starting with who, which, whose and where, and an adverbial starting with otherwise.

Font and spacing suitable for dyslexic learners; cognitive load has been kept to a minimum.

Use for SPaG lessons or for demonstrating how to improve sentence structure using adverbials. There are some suggested extended writing follow-ups at the end of the document.
