After many years of using and tweaking resources, I've decided to sell my current and suitable resources to support other teachers around the globe (hopefully).

A collection of word mats / supporting materials to support children when they are writing narratives / fictional stories. Most of the skills found on the prompts are the vital components for any good story.
The prompts are A4-sized, and almost all of them have one clear focus per prompt. I found this helped to prevent information overload.
These prompts are colourful and helpful. I have found them to be very useful to move children on from their targets. For example, if child A is struggling with sentence openers, I could get out the specific writing prompt to support them with that target.
The powerpoint includes a word mat for:
describing characters
describing settings
powerful verbs
sentence openers
apostrophes and direct speech (punctuation)
paragraphs
They are suitable for Y4-Y6 (the prompts cover the majority of the objectives found on the “working at the expected standard” assessment framework.
