Are you looking for fun and engaging ways to help your children embed their grammar, punctuation and spelling knowledge? Look no further than this Year 2 5-Minute GPS Summer 1 Week 3 resource, which features three pages of mixed questions to help your children practice.
The questions are mixed, but we have ensured that all topics are covered throughout the year, meaning you can relax in the knowledge that children will recap everything they need to know.
We have also ensured that, as this is a summer resource, the questions will include anything that your class have learned in Year 2 so far. Answer sheets are also provided for quick and easy marking.
Designed to be displayed on the interactive whiteboard for early morning work, a lesson starter or a 5-minute challenge, this colourful resource ties in with our grammar, punctuation and spelling curriculum and our ever-popular grammar assessments.
