Boost your classroom literacy sessions with our fantastic free resource designed specifically for your little learners. This ELA instructions template eyfs core pack provides a structured yet flexible framework to help children master the art of writing simple, sequential steps. Whether they are explaining how to plant a seed or how to make a jam sandwich, this resource breaks the process down into manageable chunks using clear headings and visual prompts.

By using this ELA instructions template eyfs core, children will learn the importance of chronological order, using time-connectives like first, next, and then. They will also practice using imperative verbs, such as stir, pour, and mix, which are essential for writing clear directions. This aligns perfectly with the Common Core State Standards goal of encouraging children to write sentences that can be read by themselves and others, fostering confidence in their early literacy journey.

Teachers can use this ELA instructions template eyfs core during whole-class modelled writing sessions or place it in a continuous provision area to inspire independent writing. The resource is designed at the expected standard for Pre-K, ensuring that the vocabulary and sentence structures are perfectly pitched for 3-5 year olds. It encourages children to think logically about a process, supporting their cognitive development alongside their writing skills.

To support your lesson planning, we have included five to seven questions to check understanding:

1. What is the first thing we need to do?

2. Which word tells us what to do next?

3. Can you find the ‘bossy verb’ in this sentence?

4. Why do we need to put these steps in the right order?

5. What would happen if we missed a step out?
