Spectacular SPaG is a ready-to-use scheme of work that supports teachers with clear, progressive grammar lessons. The Autumn block includes 9 small-step lessons, each aligned with the DfE’s English Appendix 2: Vocabulary, Grammar and Punctuation (often referred to as GPS), helping pupils build secure grammar foundations in Lower Key Stage 2.
Each SPaG lesson includes a PowerPoint presentation, an activity sheet and a differentiated worksheet. Activity sheets support active learning, while worksheets give pupils the opportunity to apply new skills through structured writing. All resources are differentiated at two levels to support a range of learners.
The scheme also includes Year 4 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 4 Autumn 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 can be taught as standalone SPaG sessions or integrated into your main English teaching.
Our Year 4 SPaG Autumn term resources include grammar lessons, Year 4 SPaG worksheets, teaching slides and assessments to support pupils in developing accuracy in sentence structure, punctuation and vocabulary. Pupils focus on fronted adverbials, noun phrases, determiners, pronouns and direct speech punctuation.
Lessons are designed to build confidence with key Lower Key Stage 2 grammar concepts, helping pupils apply their knowledge across sentences and short pieces of writing.
