Y5 Grammar Punctuation and Spelling
Using Commas in Lists, Adverbials and Clauses Lesson
This lesson covers the prior learning of recognising commas in a list and recognising fronted adverbials before moving onto the main skill of using commas in lists, adverbials and clauses.
The lesson starts with a prior learning activity to check pupils’ understanding. If they need more practice, you can choose other resources for that step. The interactive lesson slides recap the prior learning before moving on to the main skill. Children can then practise further by completing the activities and can extend their learning with engaging reasoning and application tasks.
