Differentiated Worksheets on PLANNING an informal letter - Year 3
After hours of searching for differentiated worksheets for children in Year 3 to plan an informal letter in role of a character, I ended up making my own.
The worksheets are all differentiated for HA, MA, LA and SEN and have differentiated Success Criteria at the top of the worksheet.
HA have to include; Feelings, questions, contractions as well as plan all the key features, including the three main paragraphs.
MA have to include; Feelings and questions as well as plan all the key features, including the three main paragraphs.
LA have to include; Feelings and questions as well as plan all the key features, including the three main paragraphs. For this group the Address was already written.
SEN have to include; Feelings as well as plan some the key features, including a main paragraph.
I hope this saves you lots of time!
