This Year 1 grammar and writing test helps young learners apply key early literacy skills, including capital letters, full stops, question marks, simple sentence writing, plurals and sequencing events. The tasks are designed to be clear, accessible and supportive, giving children the chance to show what they know with confidence.

This assessment provides teachers with a useful snapshot of early writing development, helping to identify strengths and next steps. With a gentle blend of reading, writing and sentence work, it lays strong foundations for future learning and supports children as they begin their journey into confident, independent writing.

We recommend that this assessment is done at the end of Term 1.
