This Year 6 SPaG Revision Blaster supports pupils in revising word families, prefixes and suffixes, helping them understand how words are formed and how to use them effectively in writing.
It aligns with Key Stage 2 content domains G6.2 Prefixes, G6.3 Suffixes and G6.4 Word Families, making it ideal for SATs preparation.
Why this resource works
The pack clearly explains prefixes, suffixes and root words, showing how word families are created and how meaning can change when prefixes or suffixes are added. 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 who need targeted help with word formation.

- Revision Blaster 2 – Adding prefixes and suffixes to complete sentences, recognising word classes in context and matching words to their meanings.
