Year 5

Children refine their use of parenthesis through identifying, correcting and adding brackets, commas or dashes to sentences. Tasks encourage precise punctuation and clearer writing.

These activities give children opportunities to work with modal verbs in different contexts. They identify examples, adjust possibility and adapt sentences for meaning.

Children practise linking sentences cohesively using a range of connecting words and phrases. They rewrite short passages to improve flow and clarity.

These activities strengthen word-building skills by adding the correct prefix to verbs. Children adapt sentences to change meaning, building confidence and expanding vocabulary.

This resource develops accuracy with suffixes by having children complete and correct words using ‘ise’, ‘ify’ or ‘ate’. They rewrite sentences to use the correct form and meaning.

These tasks focus on using commas to make writing clear and cohesive. Children identify where commas are needed, rewrite sentences to avoid ambiguity and create their own examples.

These activities give children the chance to practise using adverbs of possibility in context. They identify examples in short passages, replace adverbs to change meaning and refine sentence choices for accuracy.
