This English explanation texts assessment year 4 supported pack is fully aligned with the UK National Curriculum. It focuses on the key features of explanation writing, including the use of causal conjunctions, present tense verbs, and clear, logical sequencing.

Teachers can use this resource as a formative assessment tool to identify which children need more help with sentence structure or vocabulary. The resource is carefully differentiated for supported learners. It includes short, simple sentences, helpful sentence starters, and a visual word bank to assist with spelling and topic-specific vocabulary. Each question is presented with a clear answer frame, allowing students to focus on the structure of their writing without feeling overwhelmed by the blank page.

It ensures that every child, regardless of their current writing ability, can demonstrate their understanding of how to explain a process clearly and accurately.
