Designed to help the children whilst they are writing instructions in Literacy, the Instruction Checklist Mat is a useful tool for the children to ensure that they address all the features of this particular genre in their own work. By making the Instruction Checklist Mat available on classroom tables, the children have instant access to ideas and, therefore, are more equipped to work independently. The Instruction Genre Checklist Mat can be re-used, especially if laminated for durability and has been produced in full colour using the Sassoon Primary font. Topics included: instructional/procedural texts.
Use these in class for children to guide their instructional, descriptive and report writing.
Children can use these as a self assessment tool/success criteria.
Very useful to guide teacher’s planning and teaching episodes too.
