Year 1 SPaG Summer Term

Year 1 SPaG scheme and resources – Summer term

Spectacular SPaG is a ready-to-teach scheme designed to support early grammar, punctuation and spelling in a clear and structured way. The Summer block includes 8 small-step lessons based on the DfE’s English Appendix 2: Vocabulary, Grammar and Punctuation.

Each lesson includes an interactive PowerPoint, a practical activity sheet and a differentiated worksheet. Activities support speaking and early writing, while worksheets help pupils apply key skills through simple sentence work.

Resources are differentiated at two levels with scaffolded vocabulary and visual prompts where needed. Vocabulary aligns with the Year 1 spelling curriculum, and sessions are designed as flexible 15-30 minute lessons.
