Reported to direct speech

This resource initially guides the children in how to correctly punctuate direct speech. It then moves into converting reported speech into direct and takes the children through the steps of changing pronouns and determiners to 1st person and changing the tense to present tense verb forms as well as how questions may affect the word order. The challenge then offers an opportunity to consolidate their learning by converting all the reported speech in a passage to direct, and introducing new speaker, new line.
