SEN Descriptive Writing Mats | 4 Levels

Help mixed-attainment secondary SEN learners move from choosing useful vocabulary to writing a cohesive descriptive paragraph.

• KS1: collect details and write two sentences
• Early KS2: select precise vocabulary and write 3-4 linked sentences
• KS2: plan detail, atmosphere and inference before writing a cohesive paragraph

Included:

• 25-page combined master PDF
• Four separate level PDFs, with eight pages in each
• 16 differentiated stimulus worksheets
• Four reusable own-choice writing mats
• Object, animal, place and food stimuli
• Teacher / TA Quick Guide
• Progression overview
• Word banks and sentence support
• Level-specific model responses
• Printable A4 format

The resource supports pointing, circling, speech, AAC and adult scribing. It is suitable for mixed-attainment classes, literacy intervention, independent work, cover lessons and small-group teaching.

Designed for secondary pupils working from Early KS1 to KS2 literacy levels, including learners with autism, dyslexia, language needs and learning difficulties.

This is an evergreen resource with no seasonal references.
