This Year 6 SPaG Revision Blaster is designed to support pupils in revising and consolidating their understanding of parenthesis, including the use of brackets, dashes and commas to add extra information or afterthoughts in sentences.
It directly aligns with Key Stage 2 content domain G5.9 Punctuation for Parenthesis from the KS2 grammar, punctuation and spelling (SPaG) framework, making it ideal for SATs preparation.
Why this resource works
The pack provides a concise recap of the grammar points before pupils practise independently or as part of a class activity. The material is carefully structured across three levels of difficulty, helping pupils build confidence and progressively tackle more challenging questions.
It is suitable for whole-class teaching, small-group intervention or targeted support for pupils who need extra guidance.
How it is organised

- Revision Blaster 2 – Introduces slightly more complex tasks, including underlining parenthesis within sentences and inserting dashes or other punctuation correctly.
- Revision Blaster 3 – Contains higher-demand questions for pupils working at greater depth, including adding parenthesis into sentences, inserting brackets accurately and analysing commas used for parenthesis in passages.
