Check understanding
- Use the terms 'clause' and 'subordinate clause' to identify parts of a multi-clause sentence (e.g., point to the subordinate clause in 'I stayed inside because it rained')
- Use the terms 'conjunction', 'preposition', and 'prefix' correctly when explaining word/sentence choices in own writing
- Distinguish between consonant letters and vowel letters and use the terms 'direct speech' and 'inverted commas' when discussing punctuation
“If you ask your child to find a "subordinate clause" or a "preposition" in a sentence from their book, can they point one out and explain what it means?”
