KS2 Writing Features Challenge Mat: Powerful Verbs

This set of worksheets allows KS2 children to explore more ambitious vocabulary for their own writing. Each task - understand, explain, challenge, test, apply - explores how choosing more powerful synonyms for everyday verbs can change the meaning of a sentence, and give writing more impact.

Perfect for home learning, as an exercise before an independent writing task, and as a way to challenge more able learners in lower year groups, the worksheets are bright and engaging, using eye-catching images to fire children’s imaginations, and giving them the opportunity to apply their knowledge in creative writing activities.
