The aim of this overview is to support teachers using Twinkl’s English resources by showing the most coherent and progressive sequence to teach each area
of SPaG. This overview aims to cover all of the objectives from the National Curriculum 2014, including the statutory terminology for each year group listed in
Appendix 2: Vocabulary, Grammar and Punctuation.

Text under the green banner shows the essential areas to be taught. These are taken from the Year 2 National Curriculum, including the
Nouns
Vocabulary, Grammar and Punctuation objectives and Year 2 Appendix 2.

Text under the orange banner is to allow for retrieval practice opportunities. Some of the specified resources may link to the NC aims

information being transferred into their long-term memories.
