Spelling, Punctuation and Grammar Activities

This is a fantastic resource to use with any class, as it focuses on basic and complex punctuation. It models the skill, then assesses their understanding and gives them an opportunity to practice. There are over 5 extended activities for students to choose from after they complete the SPaG activities. All activities are related to the new Spec GCSE English Language papers and can take up to 45 minutes to complete. I use this with students from year 7 - 12, and they find this a great independent activity.
