100+ creative activities to help Key Stage 2 pupils learn parts of speech and punctuation and discover how playing with language can make them better writers.

The activities in this book put all aspects of grammar and punctuation in the National Curriculum into context. Through writing poems and tongue twisters, playing with sentences and clauses, performing punctuation and going to spy school to crack tricky spellings, pupils will practise and reinforce grammatical structures, patterns and concepts, even getting to grips with fronted adverbials and modal verbs.

The flexible activities can be integrated easily into any scheme of work and take no more than one hour to complete. They are written directly at pupils, so they can easily be used by pupils individually or in pairs, or a teacher can use them to teach to a whole class.

Pupils will develop their linguistic understanding, competence and confidence at the same time as becoming better, more enthusiastic writers.
