This KS2 section is split into important aspects of the English curriculum including speaking and listening, handwriting and drama. Children also have the opportunity to take the online @school assessment tests to see how well they are doing with English.
The main part of English is literacy, consisting of Word Level including phonics, word recognition, spelling, dictionary work, and various texts; Sentence Level including grammar and punctuation, looking at adjectives, adverbs, capital letters, nouns, prepositions, pronouns, sentences, syntax, and verbs; Text Level including writing, fiction, nonfiction, poetry, plays, and different texts. The @school activities are in an interactive, online test, or printable format, bringing a different dynamic to the subject.
