Year 6 Grammar Resources plus Reading and Homework Ideas

Gathered together a lot of my teaching material.

Packed full of stuff that you can use for Spag, Grammar, homework =, reading session etc.

Everthing is in the zip. I have put a few examples in the general upload.

Sample ideas :

• Pick a descriptive word from the text, write it down and, using a thesaurus, write down five synonyms and antonyms for that word.
• Re-read a chapter – pick out X number of words that you feel are powerful words and that you could use in your own writing
• How does the story hook you in at the beginning? Make a list of words and phrases that you feel are effective in making you want to read on.
• Draw and label a character or a setting from a description in the book.
• Choose a descriptive passage and make a list of examples of vivid imagery – similes, metaphors, alliteration, noun phrases etc.
• Choose a key moment in the book and change the event. Re-write the following chapter…
• Rewrite a chapter as a playscript.
• Think of 5 questions you would like to ask one of the characters. Swap these with someone else in your group and write the answers as if you were that character.
• List the words and phrases used to create an atmosphere, such as ‘scary’ or ‘spookiness’ ‘tension’ ‘relaxed’
• Write about what a character might be thinking or feeling at different stages of the story. You could write it in the first person, or in a speech bubble.
• Predict what might happen when you are about halfway through a book. Write your prediction in the form of a story plan in boxes
