Headings and Sub-headings Presentation

KS2Gems has created a comprehensive PowerPoint presentation and a suite of activities for Year 3 students to learn about the use of headings and sub-headings in grammar. The resource is adaptable and allows teachers to select sections relevant to their class's needs. It includes whole-class input, group and paired activities, and independent tasks, with the level of support at the teacher's discretion. The content covers the definition of headings and sub-headings, their purposes, and practical examples using the topic of The Romans to illustrate their use in organising information.

The presentation explains that headings serve as titles for non-fiction writing and can be broken down into sub-headings for further detail. Sub-headings are used to give readers clear indicators of what each section of text covers, helping to organise facts, interest the reader, and provide a clear layout. The resource offers example texts, such as a passage on The Romans, demonstrating how headings and sub-headings structure information about government, engineering, architecture, language, and literature. Activities invite students to apply their learning by sorting facts into groups with appropriate headings, creating sub-headings for given paragraphs about lions, and reorganising a poorly structured text on the first humans in Britain to improve its clarity and coherence.
