This 2-page document offers guidance on the teaching of fronted adverbials.
Where it is specified, the requirement in the National Curriculum is that children in Years 3 and 4 should be able to use them to express time and cause.
However, children can start to use them naturally in Year 1 and should continue to use them to improve the quality of their writing throughout Key Stage 2. In order to do so, it is useful to have a sense of the progression in the use of fronted adverbials.
The list in the document is not exhaustive but it does include the most common and the most useful fronted adverbials appropriate to pupils in Key Stage 2. Crucially, it helps you to gauge where pupils are in their use of more complex sentence structures and provides a clear upward pathway towards more advanced forms.
