Year 6 SPaG Baseline Assessment

Use this Year 6 baseline assessment at the start of the Autumn term to check your pupils’ knowledge of key grammar, punctuation and spelling objectives from Year 5. Aligned with the National Curriculum, this quick check helps identify areas that may need revisiting before beginning the Year 6 SPaG scheme.

The assessment includes:

• Verb prefixes and modal verbs
• Commas to clarify meaning and indicate parenthesis
• Relative clauses and pronouns
• Adverbs of possibility and adverbials for cohesion
• Suffixes used to form verbs (–ate, –ise, –ify)
• Using punctuation in direct speech and paragraphs effectively

All questions link back to National Curriculum grammar expectations for Year 5, giving you a clear picture of your pupils’ starting points and what to review before moving forward.
