Year 5 commas to avoid ambiguity worksheets – SPaG lesson pack
This Year 5 SPaG lesson pack focuses on how to use commas to avoid ambiguity and misreading. Pupils explore how the position of a comma can completely change the meaning of a sentence, using real examples to reinforce understanding.
The SPaG PowerPoint guides pupils through different sentence structures, modelling how to identify potential ambiguity and apply commas accurately. Ideal for improving clarity and sentence control in independent writing.
The Year 5 commas to avoid ambiguity worksheets offer two levels of differentiated tasks. Children will spot where commas are needed, edit sentences for meaning, and write their own examples using what they’ve learned.
This SPaG lesson pack includes:
- Year 5 SPaG PowerPoint on commas and ambiguity
- Two differentiated Year 5 commas to avoid ambiguity worksheets
- Answer sheets for both worksheet levels
Each resource features the small step clearly at the top to help track progression. Year group labels are left off the materials so you can use them flexibly across KS2.
