What's included?
Targeted Year 3 resources to ensure pupils are ready to write using past and present tense (Part 2) (progressive forms), reinforcing more complex verb use. Activities promote varied fluency in applying the progressive forms (*is walking, was walking*) to show ongoing actions consistently. This key small step is essential for demonstrating mastery of varied verb use required by the national curriculum. The CS Grammar, Punctuation and Spelling Scheme provides focused writing practice.
