This is a grammar revision point that I use the morning of the KS2 Grammar SATs test. It is not full of detail as it is meant to be a quick revision aid for the children. It is written in a short, bullet-pointed format to help them recall and retrieve their own prior knowledge. It has been split up into the different sections that the test framework dictates (e.g. word class, punctuation etc). I hope it is of some use to you.

I hope the resource is helpful for you. It has been updated for the 2019 test cycle.

This document is designed to help Year 6 teachers and children with examples of cohesive devices they can use in line with the Year 6 writing framework.

@LiteracyShed have written a lot of comprehension questions that are broken down into VIPERS (Vocabulary, Inference, Prediction, Explain, Retrieval and Summarise), which are splitting questions into the different content domain references that children will need to know for their SATs test at the end of Year 6. In this document, I have created a list of CARTs (comprehension activities related to texts) that will support each of these content domain references, also broken down into the VIPERS style.

This is a list of questions OFSTED could potentially ask during a reading deep dive. It includes questions for subject leads, questions around phonics and questions children could be asked. This list has been created based on what other teachers have shared on Twitter and Facebook of their experiences during inspections. These questions are not set in stone, but are meant to act as a guideline in preparing for an OFSTED visit. Hope they help.

This worksheet is full of examples of how to demonstrate formality and informality in writing. It is designed for Year 6 children and teachers but can be applied in other year groups to teach an individual text type (i.e. formal writing in a letter).
