Year 6 SPaG Scheme and Resources – Spring Term

Spectacular SPaG is a ready-to-use scheme of work designed to save teachers time while delivering engaging and structured grammar lessons. The Spring Term includes 11 small-step lessons, each carefully aligned with the DfE’s English Appendix 2: Vocabulary, Grammar and Punctuation from the National Curriculum.

Each lesson includes a PowerPoint presentation, an activity sheet, and a differentiated worksheet. Practical activities are supported by scaffolded tasks that help pupils apply their learning through structured writing. All resources are differentiated at two levels to support a range of learners.

Vocabulary is aligned with the Year 6 spelling curriculum and may be simplified where necessary to ensure focus remains on the grammar concept being taught. All lesson plans are included in one download and can be accessed from the top of the page.

Sessions are designed to last between 15–30 minutes and can be taught flexibly depending on your school’s timetable. Lessons work well as standalone SPaG sessions or as part of your wider English teaching.
