Grammar Terms: Clauses and Conjunctions means practising the idea at the table with a short text or prompt and one clear check. We will demo once, then your child tries.

Materials: Word cards or a short word list; Paper and pencil. 1. Say the goal of Grammar Terms: Clauses and Conjunctions in plain words once. 2. Adult says a target word, covers it, then writes it from memory and checks. 3. Child studies three words, covers each, writes it, and checks letter by letter. 4. Fresh check: one fresh covered spelling. Record and stop. Done: three checked spellings with corrections noted. Proof: parent note of examples and results. Stop: End after the fresh check; keep optional challenge for another day.

Check understanding

  • Use the terms 'clause' and 'subordinate clause' to identify parts of a multi-clause sentence (e.g., point to the subordinate clause in 'I stayed inside because it rained')
  • Use the terms 'conjunction', 'preposition', and 'prefix' correctly when explaining word/sentence choices in own writing
  • Distinguish between consonant letters and vowel letters and use the terms 'direct speech' and 'inverted commas' when discussing punctuation
“If you ask your child to find a "subordinate clause" or a "preposition" in a sentence from their book, can they point one out and explain what it means?”
