The resources could be completed during whole class work or are perfect for small group adult led tasks that could be used as an intervention or catch up to work on particular VGP skills.

Pupils will have the opportunity to apply their knowledge in short tasks that could be used to assess their understanding and application of key writing skills. The resource could be used throughout Year 4 to revisit and assess skills, at the end of the year or at the beginning of Year 5 to revisit skills previously learnt and identify gaps in pupils knowledge of vocabulary, grammar or punctuation in KS2.
