English KS2

Resources for Schools

The requirements for KS2 English are extremely demanding, involving curriculum which is time consuming to plan effectively. Terminology is complex, making it difficult for children to commit to memory. Whilst the step from KS1 to Lower KS2 is slow and progressive, Spelling, Punctuation and Grammar targets for Upper KS2 is significantly more advanced. As a result, children often find they are able to executive individual elements proficiently, but are unable to apply this to independent writing. Amalgamating all concepts including structure, tone, inference and vocabulary whilst working within set time constraints can be cause for anxiety, slowing progress.

By providing clear visual resources, information has greater impact for many children, allowing them to recall knowledge more readily. This can allow them to write more fluently and increase confidence.

Regardless of levels achieved, designs for our KS2 resources remain exactly the same, as we strongly believe that a child should be given the tools to work happily and successfully, rather than highlighting areas of difficulty.

Our KS2 English resources are extensive, therefore please contact us with requests should your needs not be met with the following list.
