Grammar
Grammar and punctuation
At Shakespeare, we deliver focused grammar sessions as part of our writing teaching sequence in addition to discrete lessons weekly. We use a range of resources to support the teaching and learning of grammar including Nelson Grammar. Nelson Grammar is a structured grammar teaching programme that is fully in line with the National Curriculum for England.
The programmes of study are available here:
Sentence progression
In order to meet the demands of the national curriculum. we have created a progression which introduces Alan Peats exciting sentences to coincide with the expectations of the national curriculum. There are a minimum of two sentences in each year group which means each sentence type can be explored and extended throughout the year ensuring they are embedded in each child's sentence repertoire. This in turn, adds to the mastery approach by allowing depth of understand and demonstration of use in a range of contexts.
