A collection of 3 practice SATs SPaG papers for year 6.
All three papers are based on a past SPaG paper 1.
Each practice paper contains 50 questions focussing on a range of punctuation and grammar. Answers are also included.
This includes tenses, sentence types, semi-colons, colons, brackets, hyphens, commas, subordinate clauses, prefixes, word classes, apostrophes, pronouns, synonyms and antonyms. The questions are formatted in the same way as the SATs papers, so the children are asked to circle, tick, fill in the missing gap and write full sentences.
Perfect for giving children experience of a SATs style SPaG booklet.
These papers are also included in the Year 6 Spag Revision Pack:
Year 6 Spag Revision Pack
A collection of 10 worksheets, 10 activities and 10 starters (in the form of a PowerPoint) to use with your year 6 class in the run-up to SATs. The ten topics covered are those that my class were finding difficult, so I decided they needed a bit of extra revision!
The worksheets use questions that are based on the SATs SPaG papers, plus a few extras.
The activities are perfect for group work and prepare your class for SATs in a more interactive way.
The slideshow can be used for fillers, starters or plenaries.
You can also put the three together to make 30 minute lessons on these tricky topics! For example, start with the slideshow to recap prepositions, before splitting your class into groups to do the interactive activity. Finish with an individual worksheet to check each child’s understanding.
The topics included are:
Brackets
Hyphens
Prefixes
Root words
The subjunctive
Prepositions
Pronouns
Tenses
Adverbs
Main and subordinate clauses
A great revision tool to use with your year 6 class in the run-up to SPaG SATs. This resource is a PowerPoint containing 50 SPaG questions based on past test papers.
I have used this with my class to revise difficult topics, for fillers and in a quiz format. Revise one question a day or use for one long SPaG lesson.
Each slide contains one question, with answers appearing in an animated form.
