Fast KS1 spoken language recall: listening, questions, because and group talk. Free, auto-marked practice — try it now!
KS1 English: Spoken Language — Quick Burst is a fast-recall activity book mapped to the DfE National Curriculum for Years 1–2 spoken language. Five short rounds drill core speaking and listening knowledge: the habits of good listening, question words such as who, what, where, when and why, explaining and justifying an idea with because, the manners of group discussion including taking turns and disagreeing kindly, and what makes a confident presenter. Every round is auto-marked on screen with a full answer key, or the whole book can be printed for a timed practice session. Includes teacher, parent and pupil notes and is fully SEND-friendly with high-contrast and large-text modes.
