'Check that Grammar' quick lesson starters or extensions

‘Check that Grammar’ is a series of quick lesson starters. There are 14 in total so one can be used per week for a whole term. There is a paragraph per session where the children can work to identify the grammar errors in the text. Answers are provided and all grammar elements are specific to the Years 5 and 6 curriculum. They can be used for younger or older children too and can help with Year 6 revision.

PowerPoint: This can be used as a whole class teaching resource where the texts (paragraphs) can be shared, discussed and analysed together. The children can then work in pairs or independently to identify the errors. Answers are provided after each extract. Children can also be encouraged to write and share their own paragraphs.

PDF printables: All the paragraphs can be printed to allow the children to have a copy of the paragraphs on their tables so they can annotate the text. The answers can also be printed, if the children are required to mark their own work. These are designed to be quick lesson starters or can even be used as an extension activity to challenge independent learners. It’s also a great revision tool for Year 6 SATs.
