Spelling, Punctuation and
Grammar
• This workshop is to inform you of the
recent changes that have been set out in
the new curriculum.
• To help make you aware of the new
expectations for spelling, punctuation and
grammar.
• Advice on how you can help at home.
Changes
In Year 2, the children are expected to sit a timed
spelling, punctuation and grammar test.
As a result, we are adapting our teaching and
building more opportunities for spelling,
punctuation and grammar that will help children
become more familiar with the vocabulary and
style of questioning.
This process will begin as soon as the children start
working on the National Curriculum in Year 1.

Homework
Encourage writing opportunities and use word
banks for key words.
Spellings
Spelling flash cards, LSCW check sheets,
word searches, missing words in sentences, word
sorting and finding patterns in words.
Encourage segmenting the words and sounding out
each phoneme. Ask them to attempt. Highlight the
phoneme they got wrong and ask them to think
about an alternative grapheme. Does it look right?
