GCSE Spanish Writing - Sentence Growth Method
This two-page teaching resource introduces the Sentence Growth Method, a structured and exam-ready approach to improving GCSE Spanish writing.
Designed for students who can write short, correct sentences but struggle to extend them, this method helps learners develop longer, more accurate writing through a clear Subject–Verb–Object (S–V–O) expansion process.
The resource includes:
Page 1: a sentence expansion knowledge organiser for GCSE Spanish (S–V–O structure)
Page 2: a step-by-step writing pathway guiding students from a bullet point to a full paragraph
Controlled sentence expansion tools (frequency, manner, time, place, company)
A connector guide to link sentences effectively
GCSE safe limits to support Foundation and Higher tier students

This resource is ideal for:
GCSE Spanish (Foundation & Higher)
Students who write very short sentences
SEND and EAL learners
Intervention and revision lessons
Exam preparation and independent practice
No additional preparation required.
Designed to be printed or laminated for repeated classroom use.
