KS1 English: Grammar & Punctuation — Challenge
Stretch KS1 grammar challenge: sentence-type editing, tricky comma lists, harder apostrophes and a punctuated paragraph task. Auto-marked greater depth.
KS1 English: Grammar & Punctuation — Challenge is a greater-depth stretch activity book for Years 1–2 vocabulary, grammar and punctuation, mapped to the DfE National Curriculum. Five demanding challenges push confident learners through spotting a disguised command and fixing a missing end mark, tidying up trickier four-item comma lists, tackling harder apostrophe contractions such as won’t, shouldn’t and they’re, and mixing joining words but and so with adverbs and adjectives in context. Challenges 1–4 hold around twenty auto-marked questions; Challenge 5 is an open extended writing task — planning and writing a short punctuated paragraph using every tool at once — with a full worked answer key. Includes teacher, parent and pupil notes and is fully SEND-friendly with high-contrast and large-text modes.
