Suitable for half a term to a term’s work, depending on starting point & understanding of pupils - you may need to track back and repeat at different points.
Lessons are in PowerPoint format, with a colour version for teaching and a black & white one for printing. Exercises are picked directly from the PowerPoint and condensed into a separate printable document.
Teaches full stops in four stages: 1) Writing lists. 2) Commas & and (coloured red) to separate items in a list. 3) and (coloured green) to add ideas. 4) ‘Green and’ & full stop to join and finish ideas.
Children will learn to:
to use ‘and’ to join items in a list and to join ideas (sentences)
avoid using ‘and’ to list ideas one after the other in their writing
understand that finger spaces can be used only to separate words, not ideas
to show completion of an idea with a full stop
to show next idea with the first letter of the first word capitalised
Children are supported by concentrating the resources on the G in SPaG, avoiding any mention of Spelling. Sassoon font and colour coding are used throughout. Information is presented in a low-cognitive load context with familiar scenarios (sweets, toy shop, park, beach, school) and stories (Red Riding Hood etc).
A phonic approach to teaching the Year 5/6 statutory spelling words. A unit of fourteen sets and lessons, 7 per half term.
Words are grouped by the irregular sound that they have in common e.g. the ‘ai’ sound in ancient, pronunciation, exaggerate, neighbour, accommodation. **
Lesson activities involve children using variants of the target sound to complete words, in this case, -ncient, pronunci-tion, exagger-t-, n-bour, accommod-tion.
Answers are provided.
Lessons include extensions for fast finishers.
Sets can be used for weekly spelling test lists.
**so words with more than one irregular part can occur in more than one set e.g. accommodation appears in the ‘mm’ and ‘cc’ sets.
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.
Do have a look at my other resources on fronted adverbials.
