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!

This includes the success criteria for the lesson. There are 8 simple sentences for the Year two children, common exception words are highlighted in yellow. There are 5 simple sentences for the children working at year 1 level - again year 1 common exception words are highlighted in yellow. You could even copy the Success Criteria table onto another sheet and cut out and stick into their books which will make it easier to mark!

This is a Christmas Homework sheet where the children have to spell as many words as they can think of from the word 'Christmas'. The worksheet can easily be edited too!

This is a slide I made when I ask the children in Year 1 to plan their own story. This can also be used/edited for Year 2. It works through the characters, settings, title, objects, beginning; middle and end of a story and then there is a planning sheet page, where you and the class can plan a story together. The success criteria are also included in the slide and a question at the end asking the chn to explain what they have learned today! I have also attached the worksheets that I used - differentiated - HA, MA and LA which will save huge amounts of time!

This is a letter template to the three bears from Goldilocks. It is differentiated three times (HA/MA/LA) and includes a key vocabulary list for the chn to use when writing. Will save time and easy to edit!

This is a Christmas Word Search Activity which can be done in class or given out as homework! The words are at the bottom of the page for the children to find.

This is a simple worksheet which asks the children to identify and underline the adverb in a given sentence. The sentences are christmas themed. There is an extension question at the end for the children to think of their own sentence and underline the adverb they wrote in it! Will save time!

This is a postcard template that I used for Year 3 when writing in role of a character from a class book. The templates are differentiated HA,MA,LA and each have the LO and success criteria on them, ready for the adult to highlight when marking. There are also various other templates at the end of the document which are also differentiated which I though I would attach too! Will save heaps of time!

This is such a useful worksheet to give to the children when they are free reading. Once they have read for a certain amount of time they can write about what they have read. This encourages the children to summarise and conclude what they have read. It also helps the teacher to see if they have actually been reading! There are two spaces on the worksheet where the children can note down any new words they like or any words they don't know the meaning of; and can they use a dictionary to find out the meaning! If I don't put these worksheets on the tables during guided reading, the children start asking for them! Can be edited and will save time!

This worksheet will support a lesson on identifying the subject and the verb in a given sentence. The children have to circle the subject and underline the verb in each sentence. There is then an extension question where the children have to think of their own sentence and highlight the subject and the verb. There is also the LO & Success Criteria at the top for the adult to highlight as appropriate. Can be edited and will save time!

These are simple Christmas sentences where the children have to identify when to use 'a' or 'an' in front of a word. Just simply print! This will save time and can easily be edited to suit the needs of different abilities and year groups.
