Resource Collection Tricky Grammar Story Starters
This KS2 ellipsis worksheet has been designed to help children revisit and recall a key grammatical concept from the National Curriculum programme of study for Year 6.
The session provides a motivating and memorable image to stimulate discussion, before introducing the grammar element, which is ‘ellipsis’. Children have time to practise using this feature, before undertaking a short writing task to apply what they have learnt in the context of creative writing.
Ellipsis is where a word or phrase can be left out of speech or writing because it is expected and predictable, so it isn’t needed to carry meaning.
