Year 5 SPaG Summer Term
Year 5 SPaG scheme and resources – Summer
There are 8 lessons in the Summer block of work, each of which focuses on a small step taken from the DfE’s English Appendix 2: Vocabulary, grammar and punctuation from the national curriculum.
Each lesson has a PowerPoint presentation, an activity sheet and a worksheet.
The activity sheets focus more on practical activities and the worksheets apply the skills, often through writing. Each activity and worksheet is differentiated at two levels: less able and more able. The less challenging resources tend to use simpler vocabulary and often include visual prompts and scaffolding.
Each lesson plan also includes ideas for additional or continuous provision activities.
The vocabulary used in the resources in this block is aligned with the spelling curriculum that the children will be covering in Year 5. Sometimes the vocabulary is kept simple to allow the children to focus on the new concept that is being taught.
Dependent on your timetabling and individual needs of your children, you may wish to split each lesson over 2, 3 or more sessions.

Transform your teaching of SPaG with our comprehensive SPaG scheme, designed to meet the National Curriculum expectations for spelling, punctuation, and grammar. Our year 5 SPaG resources focus on essential skills, including mastery of spelling rules for words with prefixes and suffixes, alongside homophones and silent letters.
Our scheme of work for spelling and grammar emphasises the correct use of a variety of punctuation marks, such as commas for clarity, apostrophes for possession, and inverted commas for direct speech. Pupils will also learn to use colons, semicolons, brackets, and dashes effectively, enhancing their writing style.
Our SPaG scheme for year 5 covers sentence structure, relative clauses, modal verbs, and the passive voice, ensuring pupils develop a deeper understanding of language. We also promote vocabulary development through engaging activities that encourage the use of synonyms and antonyms.
