National Curriculum Links

This resource directly addresses the statutory Year 5 National Curriculum grammar requirement – Indicating degrees of possibility using modal verbs [for example, might, should, will, must]

Years 5 and 6 – Pupils should be taught to develop their understanding of the concepts set out in English Appendix 2 by using modal verbs to indicate degrees of possibility.

How to use

Works well as an independent activity, guided group work, or as part of a grammar carousel. Start with the display cards to introduce the modal verbs before pupils move to the activity sheets. The reading passages work well as a follow-up consolidation task or for early finishers.
