KS1 SPaG scheme of work
Use ‘and’ to join words in sentences worksheets help children start extending their writing with simple coordinating conjunctions. In Lesson 8 of our Year 1 SPaG scheme, pupils learn how the word ‘and’ can be used to join words and phrases, making sentences longer and more meaningful.
This KS1 SPaG lesson introduces ‘and’ as a joining word, supporting children to identify where it fits in a sentence and how it links two related ideas. With video prompts, matching games and sentence writing practice, the lesson helps build both grammar and vocabulary confidence.
The pack includes:
- Interactive SPaG presentation with real-life examples of ‘and’ in action
- Matching activity – join sentence parts using ‘and’
- Two differentiated SPaG worksheets using ‘and’ to join words in sentences
This lesson links to the National Curriculum statement: join words and clauses using ‘and’ and follows the structure set out in the DfE’s English Appendix 2. Simpler worksheets provide extra sentence scaffolds and earlier-phase vocabulary to support developing writers.
These Year 1 grammar worksheets give children structured practice using ‘and’ in writing, and are ideal for short grammar inputs, sentence extension work or writing interventions.

All worksheets are unbranded by year group and clearly show the small step covered, so you can use them flexibly across KS1.
