Year 2 SPaG Summer Term

Year 2 SPaG scheme and resources – Summer term

Spectacular SPaG is a ready-to-use scheme of work that supports teachers with clear, progressive grammar lessons. The Summer block includes 8 small-step lessons aligned with the DfE’s English Appendix 2: Vocabulary, Grammar and Punctuation (often referred to as GPS), helping pupils consolidate key skills and write with greater confidence.

Each SPaG lesson includes a PowerPoint presentation, an activity sheet and a differentiated worksheet. Activity sheets focus on hands-on learning, while worksheets help pupils apply their understanding through structured writing. All resources are differentiated at two levels and use vocabulary aligned with the Year 2 spelling curriculum.

The scheme also includes Year 2 SPaG assessments in the style of GPS tests, complete with mark schemes and answers, alongside an assessment tracker to support progress monitoring. A full set of lesson plans and a termly overview are included to support planning and coverage.

The Year 2 Summer spelling resources sit alongside these lessons, helping pupils apply spelling patterns alongside grammar learning.

Sessions are flexible and can be delivered as 15-30 minute lessons or adapted across the week to suit your timetable and class needs.
