Year 6 SPaG Spring Term

Year 6 SPaG scheme and resources – Spring term

Spectacular SPaG is a ready-to-use scheme of work that supports teachers with clear, progressive grammar lessons. The Spring block includes 11 small-step lessons, each aligned with the DfE’s English Appendix 2: Vocabulary, Grammar and Punctuation, helping pupils refine key skills in preparation for end of Key Stage 2 assessments.

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 6 SPaG assessments in the style of GPS SATs 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 6 Spring spelling resources sit alongside these lessons, providing a consistent structure for weekly spelling teaching, including spelling lists, Look, Say, Cover, Write, Check sheets, dictation passages, handwriting activities and Spelling Rules PowerPoints.

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.
