Talking Grammar, Punctuation and Spelling

2/8/2017

0 Comments

 
This grammar, punctuation and spelling coverage plan for Years 5 and 6 can be dipped into by other year groups in Key Stage 2. It is divided into weekly plans for the entire year covering the grammar, punctuation and spelling requirements for Upper Key Stage 2.  Starting in Year 5, the learning can be consolidated in Year 6 (as revision) using different and more challenging words and tasks to deepen children’s learning. It has been successfully used with very good outcomes for the learners across Key Stage 2.
 
It is provided here as a companion to The New Spellings and Phonics Book with dictation exercises by Fidelia Nimmons.  Download the plan below.
 
Suggestion for use:
  1. As ongoing evaluation of your lesson colour code areas and learning objectives taught for the whole class.
  • Blank Not covered
  • Yellow Introduced
  • Orange Slight understanding
  • Green Moderate understanding
  • >Tick Fully understand
  • Red Reteach.
 
  1. Jot down specific names of children against the colour codes for those who need it.  
 
Commentary
The importance of equipping learners with the right vocabulary to express themselves or perform specific task cannot be over stated. Yet there is a stage that comes before that.

This is the stage of engaging with words they see and hear. When learners come across a word, they must be able to decode the word, understand what it means and make sense of it for themselves before they can begin to apply it in any context.

Words help learners become:
  • Better listeners when they understand the meanings of the words being used.
  • Better speakers when they are equipped with the correct words to express themselves.
  • Better readers when they can make meaning of words on the page.
  • Better writers when they can string a group of words together to form a sentence in order to communicate their ideas to others.



Therefore, in addition to daily or weekly vocabulary work, learning to decode and encode words must be paid due attention.
 
The New Spellings and Phonics Book with dictation exercises contains words from preschool up to secondary school level for this purpose.  It is ideal for daily spelling work in class with children of varying abilities including SEN, EAL and deep level. There are dictation sentences for words worked on during the week.

 The dictation sentences provide teaching opportunities for punctuation and hand writing practise.
 
Keep it simple for the best results. This book will help you to do so.
