Overview

Cracking English Grammar in Key Stage 2 will help children to see the purpose of learning grammar, punctuation and spelling. The 100+ creative activities in this book put all aspects of the SPaG National Curriculum into context. Through writing poems and tongue twisters, playing with sentences and clauses, performing punctuation and going to spy school to crack tricky spellings, pupils will practise and reinforce grammatical structures, patterns and concepts, even getting to grips with fronted adverbials and modal verbs. The flexible activities can be integrated easily into any scheme of work and take no more than one hour to complete. They are written directly at pupils, so they can easily be used by pupils individually or in pairs, or a teacher can use them to teach to a whole class. Pupils will develop their linguistic understanding, competence and confidence at the same time as becoming better, more enthusiastic writers.
