Talk
Find the idea
Choose a character or event and discuss what happens. Keep a few useful words visible.
Plan
Choose a short sequence
Agree a beginning, a problem and an ending. Make the plan brief enough to use while writing.
Write
Complete one part
Draft a manageable section before reviewing an agreed skill, such as sentence endings or descriptive detail.
Review
Notice the progress
Show your child one thing their writing now does well and choose a small next step.
A purposeful reading task
Before reading, agree what your child is looking for. Ask them to find and explain a detail rather than simply finish the page.
Visible instructions
Keep the next task short and clear. Check understanding before adding another instruction.
Interests with room to grow
A favourite topic can help a child begin. Gradually introduce different texts and purposes so the skill transfers.
Choose targets beyond finishing the worksheet
Progress might mean beginning with less prompting, finding evidence independently or checking a sentence without a reminder. Agree what you will look for, then share successes as well as difficulties.
