This Year 6 SPaG Revision Blaster focuses on the use of commas to improve sentence clarity, separate clauses, punctuate lists and add precision in writing.
It aligns directly with Key Stage 2 SPaG content domains G5.5 Commas in lists, G5.6a Commas to clarify meaning, and G5.6b Commas after fronted adverbials, making it ideal for SATs preparation and classroom revision.
