Year 1 Grammar & Spelling Worksheets

Grammar

Year 1 GPS work develops grammatical knowledge that supports both reading and writing:

• Identifying nouns, verbs and adjectives; using conjunctions to join clauses
• Using full stops, capital letters, question marks and exclamation marks correctly
• Forming plurals and applying irregular forms (e.g. child/children, mouse/mice)
• Using the present perfect, past tense and continuous forms correctly

Punctuation

Accurate punctuation makes writing clearer and more expressive:

• Sentence demarcation with full stops, capital letters, question marks and exclamation marks
• Apostrophes for simple omissions (e.g. don't, can't)
• Using commas to separate clauses and items in a list
• Editing for punctuation as part of the drafting and revising process

Spelling

Systematic spelling teaching in primary school builds lifelong accuracy:

• Learning all statutory spellings from the Year 1/2 word lists
• Applying morphological knowledge: prefixes and suffixes to build new words
• Identifying and learning common homophones (e.g. there/their/they're)
• Using a dictionary and thesaurus to extend and verify vocabulary choices

YearWise generates a varied set of curriculum-aligned questions every time — so your child has fresh material to practise. Sessions are short (10–30 questions), focused and available on any device. No account needed to get started.
