Young Writer's Workbook

Four Fun Worksheets (with supplementary resources) to stimulate imagination and help provide a creative writing framework for children aged 9-11.

• Worksheet 1: Social Writing - Letter from a Treasure Hunter

• Worksheet 2: Instructional Writing - Instructions for a Robotic Arm
  + ‘Bossy Verbs’ poster
  + ‘Time-words’ poster

• Worksheet 3: Narrative Writing - Building Suspense

• Worksheet 4: Narrative Writing - Poem
  + ‘Adjectives’ poster

• Each worksheet provides a clear structure with spaces for the child to write.

• The structured worksheets can be used as a short (20-30 minutes) standalone lesson.

• Each worksheet is followed by a ‘b’ worksheet which allows the child to rewrite their work without the prompts.

I designed the worksheets for 4th class (Year 6) to be used with groups during Literacy Hour. We had 15 minutes to complete each worksheet, yet the children LOVED this resource and really wanted their worksheets compiled into a booklet. It was a wonderful creative kickstart to their writing. Their reaction and enthusiasm prompted me to share the resource here on TES. The worksheets helped them to come up with original and imaginative ideas.

I welcome your feedback.
