This is a worksheet where the children have to rewrite the story of David and Goliath (short, picking out the main details of the story). The worksheets are differentiated for LA and MA.

The question at the end for the MA was asking them what they found inspiring about the story and why. As a whole class we practiced writing a summary of the story together, but you can use this to edit and make even better with your children! Will save time!
