Are you looking for some guidance on how to teach the simple past and the past and present progressive tenses? Look no further than this Year 2 Tenses Guidance that breaks down the teaching into small and manageable steps. It includes a proposed timetable of when to cover the objectives within the year, and builds on prior knowledge and understanding of tenses to enable children to build on their writing skills.

There's a one-page guidance document that includes notes about what is covered in the lesson and focus questions that you could begin your lesson with. This is an ideal document for any adult in the class to refer, and it gives an insight into the content of our accompanying resources for each lesson. These resources include a teaching PowerPoint, worksheets and much more!
