This is a Word doc resource with 15 simple dictations to use. Each dictation links with a Spag/Writing topic such as conjunctions. I made these to use weekly with my Year 3 class so there are enough for 1 whole term. The first set are linked to ‘The Iron Man’ as they were studying this text, but they will also work as stand-alone dictations. I read them out loud in repeated chunks. I then ask different children to help me to spell out each word of the dictation on the board. They tick or correct each word of their own dictation. If you have time afterwards, they can double-up as a short handwriting exercise to copy off the board. It is a great way to build focus and listening. I also use them as a way of recapping/consolidating a grammar or writing topic that we have recently covered. Hope you find these useful!

This is a Word doc. worksheet for pupils to practise inserting the correct conjunction into each sentence. Underneath, they write and insert conjunctions in their own sentences. I created this as a homework sheet to consolidate their learning of conjunctions, but it could be used as a classroom exercise as well. Enjoy!

These are 2 differentiatedWord doc worksheets. I use them for homework sheets. The first sheet has 10 sentences with missing capital letters and full stops to insert. The HA sheet has harder vocabulary and for each question there are 2 full stops to insert as well the capital letters. Please leave a review if you enjoy using them. Thank you!
