Literacy Basics: Word Worksheets

34 illustrated word worksheets in a 42-page PDF for KS3 and KS4, with introductory guidance and historical English Framework and adult-literacy curriculum references.

Each sheet explains basic points about parts of speech and their use, gives examples and provides exercises. Topics include common, proper and collective nouns; subjects and objects; pronouns; verbs and tenses; adverbs; adjectives, comparatives and superlatives; conjunctions; prepositions; articles; possessive words and asking questions. A final Pick and Mix sheet combines the skills.

The approach and vocabulary are simpler than the equivalent material in Literacy Basics: Grammar Worksheets. Select sheets to introduce a teaching point, provide practice or consolidate learning with individual students or groups. Explanations are on the worksheets; separate lesson-by-lesson teachers’ notes are not included in this PDF.
