Lesson

Set out your lesson

Use grammar terms to explain what words do in a sentence.

Before teaching

Use this short check, then start teaching.

Activity

Inferred, not a taxonomy edge: learner can access the supplied prompt with agreed support and can explain or mark a response. If earlier skills are unfamiliar, use the prerequisite topic for teaching; an authored prerequisite is not proof this learner is ready.

Printer, credit, and teaching notes
Sequence
  • Keep the two adult-only cards off the learner screen. Have a pencil and scrap paper if useful; oral pointing/typing/AAC can replace handwriting unless spelling or composition is the target. No printing, cutting, account or purchase is required.

  • Open Show first, read the explanation together, and pause to check the central idea. Then do Guided Try together.

  • For Try, close earlier models and the adult keys unless the task explicitly supplies a reference. Record any hints, read-aloud help or model reopening; do not call supported work independent.

  • Use only the active learner card. Keep the private key closed until an attempt is recorded. Stop or take a break on request; practical claims stay not observed unless actually done.

No Printer

Use on screen; read aloud or recreate a tactile model only with declared support. No printer or purchased kit.

Privacy

Never display adult keys or dictation spellings with a learner task; no family financial, identity or conflict disclosure.

Use the complete materials on screen or print only the current sheet. Keep adult guidance out of learner view.

Check understanding

  • Use the term 'noun phrase' when discussing expanded noun phrases in own writing
  • Identify adjectives, adverbs, and verbs in sentences using correct terminology
  • Explain what 'tense' means and give an example of past and present tense
“If you ask your child to point out a noun, a verb, or an adjective in a sentence from their reading book, can they find one and explain what it does in the sentence?”
