Grammar on the curriculum Year 4?

[fishoils]

I'm worried that my son doesn't know much grammar, apart from full stops, commas and capital letters ...

He's in Year 4. I didn't learn much grammar at school, so don't feel much help.

His school appears to me not to teach the kids much and they let the parents fill in what seem to be huge gaps and holes. Most of these I've been on top of. But not the grammar one.

Could anyone point me to somewhere that tells me what DS should know grammar wise by now?

Thank you.

"Failing" the early tests can be a good thing. It is an irrefutable sign that the child involved needs help. The school can't argue against it.
It is the only good thing about such tests.
If : "She can't even sound out a cvc word and I know from my son before her that they will not help. I do what I can but she is not an only child so I am limited in time."
Then I would be at school requesting to see the SENCO and asking exactly what they were going to do to help her.
I would also make sure I was praising her for her "effort" .

I don't like so much testing of such young children, but it does have a good side - which is it should make schools help those who are falling behind.
