Year 7 SPaG Starters

Year 7EnglishWorksheet9 pages✓ Answers included

Five short 'SPaG Starters' designed for the start of secondary school. Each sheet explains one rule in plain English with an example, gives a short practice task, then an extension where students write their own sentences. Four include an answer page.

What it covers

  • Adjectives and adverbs – identifying them and using ambitious vocabulary
  • Commas for subordinate clauses – at the start, middle and end of a sentence
  • Parts of speech – adjective, adverb, article, noun, pronoun, verb
  • Semi-colons – joining two independent clauses
  • Tricky spellings – mnemonics, prefixes/suffixes, syllables (accommodate, necessary, conscious…)

Who it's for

Year 7 students (age 11–12), and Year 6 pupils getting ready for secondary school.

How to use it

Use one sheet as a 10-minute warm-up before homework. Each works on its own.
