Looking for an engaging way to teach your pupils how to use paragraphs effectively? The Grammar Burst: Paragraphs downloadable resource provides everything you need to deliver five dynamic 15-minute SPaG lessons, perfect for KS2 classrooms. Designed to save you time and enhance learning, this pack combines interactive PowerPoint slides, practical activities, and ready-to-use worksheets.
Each session builds key writing skills step by step. Children explore when and why to start a new paragraph, using the TiPToP memory aid and analysing model texts. Through fun, hands-on tasks, pupils learn how to structure their ideas, use topic sentences, and develop cohesive writing. Activities include sorting sentences into paragraphs, annotating examples, and writing their own paragraphs inspired by vivid images.
The resource pack includes:
- A full teaching PowerPoint for five structured sessions.
- Differentiated worksheets and paragraph planning templates.
- Sentence sorting cards (two sizes – perfect for group work and displays).
- Uplevelling exercises to help pupils improve and edit their writing.
Flexible and easy to adapt, you can teach the lessons daily over a week or slot them into your SPaG curriculum as needed. These activities support pupils in meeting national curriculum objectives for writing composition and grammar, while also building their confidence to write independently.
Whether you’re preparing for SATs or simply want to strengthen your pupils’ understanding of paragraphing, the Grammar Burst: Paragraphs pack is a must-have. With minimal preparation required, you’ll have all the tools at your fingertips to transform your pupils’ writing.
