Support grammar, punctuation and spelling teaching with our structured Year 3 SPaG scheme of work. Lessons are carefully sequenced to help pupils build confidence with sentence structure, punctuation accuracy and grammatical terminology as they move into Key Stage 2.
This Year 3 SPaG scheme includes differentiated SPaG worksheets, grammar worksheets, interactive teaching slides, practical activities, spelling resources and clear lesson planning linked to National Curriculum English Appendix 2 objectives.
Pupils develop understanding of conjunctions, prepositions, direct speech punctuation, prefixes, paragraphs and sentence structure through small-step teaching that supports fluency, discussion and written application.
Lessons are designed to fit flexibly into busy timetables and can be taught in short 15-30 minute sessions across the week. Read more about suggested SPaG timetabling and structure here.
These Year 3 SPaG resources form part of our complete KS2 SPaG scheme of work. Explore the full KS2 grammar, punctuation and spelling scheme for structured progression across Years 3 to 6.

Our Year 3 SPaG scheme of work supports pupils as they transition into Key Stage 2 grammar expectations. Lessons revisit and strengthen prior learning while introducing more advanced grammar and punctuation concepts through carefully sequenced small-step progression.
Pupils develop confidence with conjunctions, prepositions, direct speech punctuation, prefixes, paragraphs and sentence organisation while strengthening fluency and written accuracy.
Activities are designed to help pupils apply grammar and punctuation skills within meaningful writing contexts rather than through isolated exercises alone. Structured modelling, discussion and editing opportunities support pupils as they build confidence and independence in writing.
These resources form part of our complete KS2 SPaG scheme of work, with structured grammar, punctuation and spelling progression across Years 3 to 6.
