Identify Key Words in SPAG Questions: Year 4

Hello! I created these for my Year Four Booster pupils. I wanted my students to practise reading questions carefully and circling/underlining KEY WORDS in the questions.

I copied these sheets on bright coloured paper, laminated them, cut them and put them in an envelope. This is why the concepts are mixed on some of the pages. I didn’t want the pupils to recognise that the ‘apostrophe’ questions were one colour, and the ‘comma’ questions were another colour. Therefore the students have to identify the key words in the questions.

These cards need to be laminated so that the children can circle/underline the key words in the question, answer the questions and then the cards can be used over and over again.

Also please note that the boxes for the commas and apostrophes are sometimes above and sometimes below the sentence. The assessments at my school are arranged this way, so I wanted my students to become familiar with it.

Included:
noun
adjective
verb
adverb
pronoun
determiner
preposition
singular and plural nouns
past/present/future tense verbs
comma
apostrophe
subordinating connective
root word
prefix
suffix
speech marks


Hope this can help your students!
