Expanded Noun Phrases – Adjectives

Description

A pack focusing on expanded noun phrases using adjectives, covering both oral and written use of expanded noun phrases.  The material offers a high level of visual support, making it suitable for a wide ability range of children aged 7+ years. For some pupils, writing tasks could be omitted and the pictures used to promote oral language only.

The emphasis on the explicit teaching of grammatical terms is particularly important for pupils who have a diagnosis of developmental language disorder or those pupils who have poorly developed language skills. The National Curriculum for England, English Programmes of Study, provides clear guidelines on the grammatical structures to be introduced at each Key Stage and recommends that these structures are explicitly taught. The National Curriculum specifies that by year 2, pupils should ‘use expanded noun phrases to describe and specify … to convey complicated information concisely.’

Suitable for use in one-to-one and/or small-group settings. The materials in the pack can be used in one-to-one and/or small-group settings. Instructions are provided on each page, along with writing activities.
