This Year 6 SPaG Revision Blaster supports pupils in revising tenses, including simple, progressive, perfect and perfect progressive tenses in the past, present and future.

It aligns with Key Stage 2 content domains G4.1a Simple Past and Simple Present, G4.1b Verbs in the Perfect Form, G4.1d Present and Past Progressive, and G4.2 Tense Consistency, making it ideal for SATs preparation.

Why this resource works

The pack clearly explains the different verb tenses, giving examples and guidance on how to use each tense correctly. Pupils then practise through progressive exercises that increase in difficulty.

It is suitable for whole-class teaching, small-group intervention or one-to-one support for pupils needing targeted help with tense usage.

How it is organised

  • Revision Blaster 1 – Focuses on identifying tenses, forming the past tense and recognising the simple present.
  • Revision Blaster 2 – Covers past tense verbs, rewriting sentences in different tenses and recognising past perfect.
  • Revision Blaster 3 – Includes higher-demand tasks, such as present perfect progressive, tense classification and rewriting sentences in present perfect.

  • Provides structured practice aligned to the national curriculum and KS2 SATs.
  • Includes PDF and PowerPoint slides for flexible teaching.
