BUNDLE: Core and Mastery Grammar Booklets

Two booklets with distinct pathways. ‘Core’ focusses on the basics skills as pupils transition from Key Stage 2 to Key Stage 3, and ‘Mastery’ is more advanced, when pupils have a solid knowledge of grammar in place. Each element of grammar has a pupil friendly explanation followed by a ‘why we need to know this’ explanation too

Both include interleaved and spaced retrieval practice. Can be used ‘stand alone’ as intervention or homework booklets, or as part of wider curriculum
