These bright, appealing SPaG worksheets are a great help for practising and revising the use of statements in Year 2. There are three worksheets in total, covering the following five sections – ‘understand’, ‘challenge’, ‘test’, ‘explain’ and ‘apply’.
- Understand
Students respond to three questions by writing a short statement for each one.
- Challenge
‘Write 3 statements about your school.’
- Test
Students pick out the statements from a list of several sentences and underline the statements contained within three short passages.
- Explain
‘Using your own words, explain what a statement is.’
- Apply
‘What do you like to do for fun? Tell a friend all about your favourite hobby. Underline all of the statements you have included.’
