These Year 6 English lessons cover reading comprehension, writing, SPaG and spelling: the four pillars of the final primary year. Each deck is a complete, presentable teaching sequence of model, analyse, practise and apply, with examples pitched at the end of Key Stage 2.

Aligned to the Years 5 and 6 programme of study in the England National Curriculum, the lessons cover identifying how language, structure and presentation contribute to meaning, building cohesion within and across paragraphs, using hyphens to avoid ambiguity, and adding prefixes and suffixes accurately. That is the territory of both the KS2 reading test and the grammar, punctuation and spelling test, so the decks serve teaching and revision alike.

Everything opens in Chalkie for editing: swap extracts for your class novel, regenerate SPaG practice sentences, or reshape a deck into a booster session. For Year 6 teachers balancing curriculum coverage with SATs preparation, that flexibility is the point.
