Key Stage 2 (KS2) Literacy / SPaG revision activities to use when recapping the basics of what makes a sentence to help students work out where to put full stops and capital letters. This grammar and punctuation (SPaG) activity provides revision of punctuating sentences with full stops and capital letters for Year 4, 5 and 6 (Y4, Y5 and Y6). There are 40 differentiated full stops and capital letters self-check sentences cards for independent or paired work. PDF format in a Zip file.
- Regular use helps students avoid fragments and run on sentences in their own writing and recognise where sentences begin and end
- Encourages students to use editing and proofreading skills
- Use as a regular starter or early finisher activity or main task in a grammar lesson
- 30 middle / higher ability cards and a separate set of 10 for lower ability
- MA and HA cards are the same, only the MA version gives a hint about the number of sentences to find
- LA version has more basic sentences and shorter texts
- Designed to be printed back to back with answer side (changes printed in red) so students can self-check
- Answer sides could be printed separately instead
- Best printed in colour but answers are in bold so okay in black and white too
- NO PRINT OPTION: Why not display cards on the board as a regular whole class activity? Students could write the first word of each identified sentence on a whiteboard.
- Front sides have a short, engaging paragraph with no full stops and capital letters. If cards are laminated, students could mark them on. They could also write text out if you wish, before self-marking.
- Students must start proper nouns with capitals, though as the focus is sentence demarcation, I have kept these to a minimum.
- Small number of commas also missing. These have been added to answer sides but not in red as they are not the focus.
- Dyslexia-friendly font and spacing used, together with pastel background
- All files also included without background
- Non-pastel background versions could be printed on pastel paper
