Dialogue Text Examples Differentiated: Journey by Aaron Becker

Example texts demonstrating dialogue writing with direct speech based on the beautiful children’s picture book Journey by Aaron Becker.

The 3 differentiated example texts contain conversations between the female protagonist and her elder sister when she is bored and looking for someone to play with.

Differentiated feature find worksheets with answers are included – perfect for sharing in class or uploading during online lessons for remote learning.

All resources are differentiated three ways.

The model texts are useful as WAGOLLs to examine before children attempt their own dialogue writing based on the book.
