This resource includes a comprehensive teacher Notebook which ensures the children are secure with singular and plural subjects before introducing them to 1st, 2nd and 3rd person. The resource then encourages the children to apply these skills by identifying singular, 3rd person subjects that will need an ‘s’ adding to the verb to maintain subject-verb agreement. It also asks the children to suggest subjects that will match the verb as well as looking at their ability to apply spelling rules when adding ‘s’ to a verb. There is also an independent task sheet for the children to put their learning into practice and a challenge activity that introduces some of the more complicated rules for maintaining the subject - verb agreement.
