Full Grammar and Punctuation Curriculum
Spelling Shed’s grammar and punctuation curriculum covers all of the English National Curriculum expectations for punctuation and grammar. Each year group has small step learning episodes covering all key areas of the grammar, punctuation and spelling curriculum: Word, Text, Sentence and Punctuation. Each small step is linked to a National Curriculum statement.
The scheme consists of editable lesson presentations and digital quizzes. You can use the teaching slides in class to teach new knowledge or to revise and consolidate grammatical concepts and objectives. The fun and engaging digital quizzes can be set as assignments and used for homework or in class. The best bit is that they are self-marking! This means pupils get instant feedback, you save time and you can easily track their progress.
Grammar Arcade
Grammar Arcade is a recent addition to Spelling Shed and it is game-changing in improving grammar results, targeting objectives and making grammar practice fun and effective. Grammar Arcade has been designed to improve and target specific grammar skills and it provides full National Curriculum coverage for grammar and punctuation.
With content written by teachers, Grammar Arcade is full of fun and engaging games, so pupils can dodge ghosts in Mouse Mansion, reel in a big catch in Fish Fast, battle invading Punctuation Pirate Ships or feed Perfect Pups, all while learning and consolidating key skills.
You can choose to assign pupils the specific stage and curriculum objective or let them play their own way. As Grammar Arcade targets skills and objectives, it is perfect for SATs practice. Read our full ‘Play Your Way to SATs Success’ blog post here.
