Syntax, Sentences and Sequencing: Developing Grammar in KS1
This series of three sessions explores the technical aspects of grammar including: Word Structure: classes, tenses and phrases; Sentence Structure: clauses, simple, compound and complex sentences and Text Structure: cohesion and coherence. It provides teachers with ideas and strategies to support contextualised, creative and engaging teaching and explains national expectations in relation to progression and the new curriculum. The focus will be on levels 1-3 (our KS2 grammar network will focus on levels 4-6) although there will obviously be some over-lap.
