Y2 Grammar Punctuation and Spelling
Consolidating Commas and Conjunctions Lesson
This Consolidating Commas and Conjunctions lesson covers the prior learning of recognising commas in a list, before moving onto consolidating knowledge of commas and conjunctions.
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. Children can then practise further by completing the activities and can extend their learning with engaging reasoning and application tasks.
