Write about a story you had when you were tiny.

Where did you fly in your paper aeroplane?

What happened, did you crash?

Did you go to a real place or magical made up place?

Was it just you or did you bring a friend?

Writer's checklist

(students are encouraged to pick 1-2 things to focus on during a writing session)

  • I have used lower case letters.

  • I have sounded out my words.

  • I have used full stops at the end of my sentences.

  • I have used finger spaces in between my words.

  • I have tried my hardest.

If needed use the story map to help lay out the beginning, middle and end of the story. Your child can use this worksheet as a visual guide to group their ideas (their writing), or they may like to use it to draw out their story first in the boxes then write.
