Spectacular SPaG is a ready-to-use scheme of work that supports teachers with clear, progressive grammar lessons. The Summer block includes 6 small-step lessons, each aligned with the DfE’s English Appendix 2: Vocabulary, Grammar and Punctuation, with a focus on consolidation, independent application and preparation for transition to secondary school.
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 new skills within structured writing tasks. 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 curriculum coverage.
The Year 6 Summer spelling resources sit alongside these lessons, helping pupils secure key spelling patterns before moving on to secondary school.
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 wider English teaching.

Pupils explore hyphens, the future perfect tense, passive voice and organisational features including headings, sub-headings, columns and tables, while continuing to strengthen cohesion across different forms of writing.
These resources support pupils in leaving Key Stage 2 with secure grammar knowledge, greater writing independence and stronger preparation for secondary English expectations.
