SPaG Planning Overview
Year 4
The aim of this overview is to support teachers using Twinkl’s English resources by showing the most coherent and progressive sequence to teach each area
of SPaG. This overview aims to cover all of the objectives from the National Curriculum 2014, including the statutory terminology for each year group listed in
Appendix 2: Vocabulary, Grammar and Punctuation.
Text under the green banner shows the essential areas to be taught. These are taken from the Year 3 and 4 National Curriculum,
including the Vocabulary, Grammar and Punctuation objectives and Year 4 Appendix 2.
Text under the orange banner is to allow for retrieval practice opportunities. Some of the specified resources may link to the NC aims
from previous school years and will require students to recall previously learnt knowledge in order to increase the likelihood of the
information being transferred into their long-term memories.

Compound Words
Teaching, Revision & Consolidation Resources - a selection of comprehensive teaching resources that may include teaching PowerPoint presentations, display

Assess and Review - The blue banner section at the end of the term is time for the teacher to assess where their children are at with their
learning and review any areas that children need extra time or support in.
