Teach Year 6 SPaG with six carefully sequenced Summer term lesson packs, fully aligned with the Year 6 grammar and punctuation National Curriculum objectives. Pupils learn to use hyphens to avoid ambiguity, identify and use the future perfect tense, apply the passive voice in writing, organise information using headings and subheadings, structure texts using columns and tables, and draw on a range of devices to build cohesion within and across paragraphs.
Begin with the Year 6 Summer lesson plans and rationale for an overview of the teaching sequence. You’ll also find assessments, progression documents and a linked Year 6 Summer spelling strand, with weekly spelling lists, Spelling Rules PowerPoints, dictation tasks, handwriting sheets, Look, Say, Cover, Write, Check sheets and spelling tests to support continued progress throughout the term.
After the six new lessons, the remaining weeks can be used to revisit previously taught grammar and punctuation concepts and apply them through independent writing across the wider English curriculum.

Everything you need to organise, teach and assess the Summer term in one place. Alongside the six Year 6 SPaG lesson packs, you’ll find detailed lesson plans and rationale, an end of term assessment, an assessment tracker and a long-term progression overview. Together, these resources help pupils consolidate key grammar and punctuation knowledge before applying previously taught concepts confidently through independent writing during the final weeks of Year 6.
Our Year 6 Summer spelling resources complement the grammar and punctuation sequence, helping pupils consolidate their spelling knowledge while revisiting key statutory words and more challenging spelling patterns. The Summer sequence combines new teaching with planned consolidation weeks, giving pupils regular opportunities to revisit learning and build confidence before the end of Key Stage 2.
Throughout the Summer term, pupils investigate hyphenated words, words ending in -ly, prefixes including dis-, im-, in- and mis-, words ending in -ful, -ive and -ation, alongside families of related words. Dedicated consolidation and review weeks provide time to revisit spellings that require further practice before the transition to secondary school. Weekly spelling lists, dictation activities, handwriting sheets, Look, Say, Cover, Write, Check sheets and our popular Spelling Rules PowerPoints make it easy to introduce, practise and revisit each spelling focus throughout the term.
