Sentence level grammar practice activities. This is a booklet based on the talk for writing progression for sentence structure through Yr1-Yr6. It includes motivating contexts to practise grammar skills such as:
adjectives
sentence types
conjunctions
compound and complex sentences
different sentence starters
relative clauses
sentence of three for description and action
and more…
It is presented in four levels of difficulty as it was originally written for mixed ability KS4 SEN students and therefore also links to Functional Skills Entry 1 - Level 1. This resource could be used as mini lessons, small group or 1:1 intervention, starter activities or as independent practise in grammar lessons. Great to support a talk for writing sequence on superhero origin stories too!
