Gifted and Talented Teacher creates high-quality teaching resources and printable teacher resources designed to support calm, organised, and engaging learning environments. From curriculum-aligned teaching tools to functional classroom decor, our resources are classroom-ready and designed to save teachers time.

Designed to teach commas in compound sentences and FANBOYS coordinating conjunctions through the I Do, We Do, You Do instructional model, these 24 slides support the gradual release of responsibility, clear explanations and guided practice as students build control over sentence construction and punctuation.

These teacher slides can be used independently. Note: Where the teacher slides reference printable independent activities, these are available in the full lesson bundle available here.
