A short series of tasks that show students the importance of punctuation. This has been useful with GCSE students, particularly LA/MA, that need to be encouraged to proofread to maximise their marks on Language Section B. The tasks are designed to show them how punctuation impacts meaning and there are also some humorous examples to maximise engagement.

35 'Word of the Week' put on to Powerpoint. Can be used during Tutor time or at the beginning of a lesson. States the word, a definition and an example. Could also be used as a short handwriting task.

This resource collection contains extracts from well known texts and encourage students to think carefully about their vocabulary choices. These resources are quite flexible so can be dropped into various existing schemes.

A scheme of learning that focuses on improving literacy. The scheme focuses on sentence structures, punctuation and vocabulary to match the stronger focus on SPaG in the new curriculum. This scheme is much more suited to LA/MA/intervention students rather than HA students. There are lots of visual cues to use as a springboard to writing and a quiz that ca be used at the start and the end of the scheme so that students can see the improvements they have made.
