The Summer term block of our Spectacular SPaG scheme includes 7 carefully sequenced lessons, each based on a small step from the DfE’s English Appendix 2: Vocabulary, Grammar and Punctuation (often referred to as GPS). These lessons help Year 3 pupils consolidate key grammar and punctuation skills while developing more organised and independent writing.
Each SPaG lesson includes a PowerPoint presentation, an activity sheet and a differentiated worksheet. Activity sheets support active grammar practice, while worksheets give pupils opportunities to apply their knowledge through structured written tasks. All resources are differentiated at two levels to support a range of learners.
The scheme also includes Year 3 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 curriculum coverage.
The Year 3 Summer spelling resources sit alongside these lessons, helping pupils apply spelling patterns alongside grammar learning.
Sessions are designed to last between 15-30 minutes and can be delivered flexibly depending on your setting. Lessons work well as standalone SPaG sessions or as part of wider English teaching.

These Summer SPaG resources form part of our complete Year 3 SPaG scheme of work. Explore the full scheme for structured grammar, punctuation and spelling progression across the academic year.
Our Year 3 SPaG Summer term resources help pupils become more independent and organised writers as they prepare for Year 4. Lessons focus on linking ideas clearly, grouping related information and using grammar more precisely within extended writing.
Pupils begin to use paragraphs, headings and sub-headings while developing their understanding of clauses, conjunctions, adverbs and prepositions to express time, place and cause more effectively.
These resources support pupils in moving beyond sentence-level grammar work towards more structured and purposeful writing across the curriculum.
