What is a substitution table?
A substitution table arranges sentence parts into columns. Pupils choose one item from each column, left to right, to build a grammatically correct sentence. Because every combination works, pupils can generate many different sentences from the same table — building confidence and fluency.
They're particularly effective for EAL learners who need sentence structure scaffolding, for early writers building confidence, and for SPaG lessons where you want pupils to practise a specific grammar feature (fronted adverbials, expanded noun phrases, passive voice) within a controlled structure.
