Explore our KS2 SPaG scheme of work for Year 3, Year 4, Year 5 and Year 6, designed to teach grammar, punctuation and spelling through clear small-step progression. Fully aligned with the National Curriculum English Appendix 2, Spectacular SPaG supports pupils as they develop increasingly accurate and confident writing throughout Key Stage 2.
In Year 3 SPaG, pupils develop their understanding of prefixes, conjunctions, prepositions, direct speech and paragraphs. Year 4 SPaG introduces fronted adverbials, expanded noun phrases, direct speech punctuation and Standard English. In Year 5 SPaG, pupils explore relative clauses, modal verbs, parenthesis and cohesion, before moving on in Year 6 SPaG to advanced grammar and punctuation including the passive voice, subjunctive forms, semi-colons, colons, dashes and formal and informal language.
Every lesson is built around a single National Curriculum objective and includes a lesson plan, teaching slides, differentiated worksheets and a practical activity. The scheme also includes assessments, progression overviews and long-term planning documents to support consistent grammar, punctuation and spelling teaching across Key Stage 2 while preparing pupils for end of Key Stage 2 expectations, including the Year 6 GPS SATs.

This KS2 SPaG scheme of work is designed to save teachers time while delivering full coverage of the Key Stage 2 English National Curriculum. With clearly sequenced lessons and a consistent small-step approach, it supports strong grammar progression across Years 3 to 6 and helps pupils build the knowledge needed for end of Key Stage 2 expectations, including the Year 6 GPS SATs.
Our KS2 grammar and punctuation resources are practical, interactive and easy to differentiate. Each lesson includes interactive slides, structured activities and differentiated worksheets to support all pupils in understanding and applying grammar concepts in context.
Grammar in KS2 can often feel disconnected from writing, but our scheme takes a different approach. Using clear models, visual support and carefully structured steps, pupils develop confidence in key areas such as sentence structure, punctuation, word classes and verb forms.
Teaching grammar and punctuation in Key Stage 2 doesn’t need to feel overwhelming. Whether you’re introducing new concepts or revisiting prior learning, our KS2 grammar lessons make it easy to teach with clarity and consistency. Lessons also work well for short revision sessions, helping teachers revisit key concepts in the lead-up to SATs without adding extra planning.
The scheme also includes spelling rules for Years 3 to 6, grammar activities and writing-based tasks that support the wider English curriculum. By linking SPaG directly to writing, pupils are better able to apply their knowledge independently and meet curriculum expectations.
