Year 6 Grammar, Punctuation & Editing | 8 English Units Bundle
Build a flexible Year 6 language-conventions program with eight complete English units covering formal and informal language, objective and subjective language, bias, precise verbs and adverbs, commas and clauses, complex sentences, modal verbs, and active and passive voice.
Students analyse how language choices change for audience, purpose and context; separate fact, opinion and inference; detect biased or loaded wording; choose precise verbs and purposeful adverbs; punctuate clauses accurately; construct and revise complex sentences; interpret shades of modality; and transform active and passive sentence patterns deliberately.
The collection includes two distinct complex-sentence units for varied instruction and spiral review. Seven units are written for Year 6, while the included active-and-passive-voice unit is labelled Year 5 and provides useful Years 5–6 bridging, revision and support.
