The activity sheets are structured around the narrative, non-fiction and poetry blocks of the new literacy Framework. The content comes from common Year 6 fiction and non-fiction themes. The activities are designed to support work done across the curriculum as well as in literacy teaching.
The activities follow the main literacy priorities in Year 6 and are designed to be used flexibly. They are intended to be used with an adult: it would be pointless for the child to do them alone. Much of the learning is in the interaction.
Each activity sheet has a clear focus and advice to the adult as well as the child. There are four main types:
• Understanding and engaging with texts;
• Shaping texts;
• Sentence structure and punctuation;
• Spelling.
Each unit contains a mixture of the activity types.

Good writing may start with an exciting idea, but it needs structure to make sense to a reader. Grammar provides a framework on which to display the imagination.
Writing brings together individual expression and an understanding of the rules that allow our language (any language) to make sense. This book has been written with the view that grammar and creativity go hand in hand to produce good writing. Developing children’s understanding of the basics of English will encourage their literary adventures. The range of activities here has been designed to excite interest as well as guide children and teachers through the rules.
