Year 5/6 spelling: word sets & lessons, Term 1
A phonic approach to teaching the Year 5/6 statutory spelling words. A unit of fourteen sets and lessons, 7 per half term.
Words are grouped by the irregular sound that they have in common e.g. the ‘ai’ sound in ancient, pronunciation, exaggerate, neighbour, accommodation. **
Lesson activities involve children using variants of the target sound to complete words, in this case, -ncient, pronunci-tion, exagger-t-, n-bour, accommod-tion.
Answers are provided.
Lessons include extensions for fast finishers.
Sets can be used for weekly spelling test lists.
**so words with more than one irregular part can occur in more than one set e.g. accommodation appears in the ‘mm’ and ‘cc’ sets.

Fronted Adverbials: How to and When - Detailed Progression Guidance
This 2-page document offers guidance on the teaching of fronted adverbials.
Where it is specified, the requirement in the National Curriculum is that children in Years 3 and 4 should be able to use them to express time and cause.
However, children can start to use them naturally in Year 1 and should continue to use them to improve the quality of their writing throughout Key Stage 2. In order to do so, it is useful to have a sense of the progression in the use of fronted adverbials.
The list in the document is not exhaustive but it does include the most common and the most useful fronted adverbials appropriate to pupils in Key Stage 2. Crucially, it helps you to gauge where pupils are in their use of more complex sentence structures and provides a clear upward pathway towards more advanced forms.
Do have a look at my other resources on fronted adverbials.
Fronted Adverbials Lesson KS2
This PowerPoint presentation, suitable for more than one lesson, provides a humourous report about a type of guinea pig called a trolley pig.
It gives examples of the key types of fronted adverbial - those starting using: prepositions, with, verbs ending in -ing, because, although, if, similes starting with ‘Like…’ and ‘As…as’, adjectives and adverbs of time (when, before etc).
The text also includes relative clauses starting with who, which, whose and where, and an adverbial starting with otherwise.
Font and spacing suitable for dyslexic learners; cognitive load has been kept to a minimum.
Use for SPaG lessons or for demonstrating how to improve sentence structure using adverbials. There are some suggested extended writing follow-ups at the end of the document.
