Year 5 and 6 English CHALLENGING 5 a day task to prepare children for end of year SATs assessments - a comprehensive six-week program designed to boost your students’ English skills!
With a focus on spellings, grammar, vocabulary, and comprehension, these mini tasks are perfect for daily use as an early morning activity, after lunch, or as part of the main English lesson.
Each day, your students will be presented with a series of mini tasks, covering all the year 5 and 6 statutory spellings, along with a range of grammar and vocabulary exercises to improve their language skills.
The comprehension tasks are designed to cover a range of domains, including vocabulary, retrieval, summarising, predicting, and inference. This means that your students will not only improve their language skills, but also their ability to understand and analyse text. Children should be encouraged to work through as many questions as possible and perhaps work in partners to try to work out the trickier comprehension questions. Dictionaries will need to be at hand!
Whether you’re looking to supplement your current English curriculum, or simply want to provide your students with a fun and engaging way to improve their language skills, the Year 5 and 6 English 5 a day tasks are the perfect solution.
