Spelling, Punctuation and Grammar
Teaching Grammar and Punctuation
As part of our English lessons we teach spelling, punctuation and grammar. This is an essential skill in understanding written text. It gives children the tools to understand writing, and be able to use these tools to develop their own style of writing. By the time they leave Willingdon we aim for them to be able to develop their own preferences towards specific writing genres and techniques.
Spelling, punctuation and grammar is taught through a progression of skills shown in the National Curriculum English appendices.
