Learning journey

Your child is learning important grammar skills — understanding how to build more complex sentences, use punctuation correctly, and choose the right words to make their writing clearer and more interesting.

Evidence of understanding

  • Replace a repeated noun with a pronoun: 'The dog was happy. He wagged his tail.'
  • Use I/me correctly in subject and object position in a sentence
  • Choose the correct possessive pronoun (my/his/her/their) to match the noun it replaces

Assessment prompt

When Pronouns retells a story or describes what a friend did, do they use words like "he", "she", "they", or "his" correctly — instead of repeating the person's name every single time?
