My Year 5 students use our SPAG display all the time! It has really helped them to develop their understanding of different areas of SPAG and has improved SPAG test scores. They use it to aid their writing too. I definitely recommend using these resources in your classroom. The posters include Y5 SPAG plus previous year group SPAG. BOTH PDF and WORD (editable) documents are included in this download. 15 posters included Conjunctions Adverbs Adjectives Nouns Prefixes Suffixes Modal verbs and adverbs of possibiloty Parenthesis Relative pronouns Simile openers Tenses ING sentence openers Fronted adverbials Modal verbs ED sentence openers Determiners

Oracy display for classroom Promote oracy within your classroom Oracy starters / sentence starters For example: ‘In my opinion’, ‘I disagree with … because’, ‘Building on what … said’. This has been really successful in my classroom and the children have been improving their speaking skills significantly! Give it a try :-) This file includes BOTH word document (editable) and PDF versions.

I created these English posters based on the Year 5 National Curriculum but they are definitely suitable for other KS2 classes. The file includes 16 different posters.
