## 1. Fifth Grade · Recognize and use previous grade levels' parts of speech in simple, compound, and complex sentences.

- [Phrases & Clauses](https://ai.page/c/phrases-and-clauses/index.md): Understand and analyse the function of phrases (noun, verb, adjectival, adverbial, prepositional) and clauses (main, subordinate, relative) in general and in specific sentences, including recognising and correcting misplaced and dangling modifiers
- [Correlative Conjunctions](https://ai.page/c/correlative-conjunctions/index.md): Use correlative conjunctions correctly in sentences, pairing words such as either/or, neither/nor, both/and, not only/but also, and whether/or
- [Grammar Terms: Modal Verbs and Clauses](https://ai.page/c/grammar-terms-modal-verbs-and-clauses/index.md): Know and use Year 5 grammar terminology accurately when discussing reading and writing: modal verb, relative pronoun, relative clause, parenthesis, bracket, dash, cohesion, ambiguity
- [Progressive and Continuous Tenses](https://ai.page/c/progressive-and-continuous-tenses/index.md): Form and use the progressive (continuous) verb tenses — past progressive (was walking), present progressive (am walking), and future progressive (will be walking) — to convey ongoing actions at different times

## 2. Fifth Grade · Compose simple, compound, and complex sentences.

- [Types of Sentences](https://ai.page/c/types-of-sentences/index.md): Choose among and construct simple, compound, complex, and compound-complex sentences to signal different relationships among ideas, varying sentence patterns deliberately for meaning, interest, and style

## 3. Fifth Grade · Develop and strengthen writing utilizing the five steps appropriate to task, purpose, and audience.

- [Planning Ideas Before Writing](https://ai.page/c/planning-ideas-before-writing/index.md): Plan before writing by saying aloud or noting down what will be written, writing down ideas and key words, and encapsulating ideas sentence by sentence before composing
- [Writing for an audience](https://ai.page/c/writing-for-an-audience/index.md): Produce clear and coherent writing in which the development and organisation are appropriate to the task, purpose, and audience, maintaining a consistent style and structure throughout
- [Revising and editing (age 7+)](https://ai.page/c/revising-and-editing-age-7/index.md): Evaluate and edit writing by assessing effectiveness, proposing changes to grammar and vocabulary for consistency, and proof-reading for spelling, grammar and punctuation errors at Y3-4 level
- [Planning, Revising and Editing Writing](https://ai.page/c/planning-revising-and-editing-writing/index.md): Plan, revise, and edit writing to improve coherence and effectiveness — considering how the writing reflects its intended audience and purpose, amending vocabulary, grammar, and structure, and proofreading for accurate spelling, punctuation, and grammar

## 4. Fifth Grade · Analyze a variety of fiction and poetry texts.

- [Comparing Books](https://ai.page/c/comparing-books/index.md): Make comparisons within and across books, identifying similarities and differences in themes, characters, settings, and authorial choices across multiple texts

## 5. Fifth Grade · Determine how literary devices contribute to the meaning of a text:

- [Figurative Language and Literary Devices](https://ai.page/c/figurative-language-and-literary-devices/index.md): Determine the meaning of figurative and connotative language in context, analyse the impact of specific word choices on meaning and tone, and identify literary devices such as metaphor, simile, personification, allusion, and irony

## 6. Fifth Grade · Describe the structure of informational texts:

- [Structure of information texts](https://ai.page/c/structure-of-information-texts/index.md): Describe the overall structure of an informational text (chronology, comparison, cause/effect, problem/solution) and explain how the author's chosen structure helps convey information and ideas
- [Comparing Structure in Information Texts](https://ai.page/c/comparing-structure-in-information-texts/index.md): Compare and contrast the overall structure of events, ideas, concepts, or information in two or more informational texts, identifying patterns such as chronology, comparison, cause/effect, or problem/solution

## 7. Fifth Grade · Encode words using the combined knowledge of syllabication patterns and morphology in context and out of context:

- [Greek and Latin Roots for Word Meaning](https://ai.page/c/greek-and-latin-roots-for-word-meaning/index.md): Use knowledge of Greek and Latin affixes (prefixes and suffixes) and roots as clues to determine the meaning of unfamiliar words, building a bank of common roots and their meanings
- [Syllables (age 6+)](https://ai.page/c/syllables-age-6/index.md): Decode words of two or more syllables by breaking them into syllable chunks, applying knowledge that every syllable must contain a vowel sound, and blending the parts together
