A and An - Grammar Lesson + Activities (Full PowerPoint - No Printing Required)

A full lesson teaching the difference between when to use ‘a’ and when to use ‘an’.

We use ‘an’ in front of words (nouns and adjectives) which begin with a vowel letter (a, e, i, o and u). We use ‘a’ in front of words which begin with a consonant letter.

The presentation consists of 27 slides and multiple activities helping children develop a solid and secure understanding of the differences between using ‘a’ and ‘an’. The lesson includes:
√ Learning objective
√ Three success criteria
√ Starter activity - AFL - fill in the blanks

PLEASE NOTE - Please look at the ‘notes’ section of the PowerPoint for additional information about each slide. These include teaching tips, ideas and further explanations.

This lesson is also suitable for being delivered remotely through online learning with some slight adaptations. It could combine very well with platforms such as Pear Deck and Nearpod.
