Teachers can use this versatile frame as a scaffold during modelled writing sessions or as an independent task for pupils to complete during English lessons. The resource includes a checklist at the bottom of the page, allowing children to self-assess their work against key criteria, such as the inclusion of a title, a list of equipment, and clear, concise steps.
Our English instructions writing frame year 4 core is designed at the expected standard, providing just the right amount of support to build confidence while encouraging pupils to expand their sentences.
