Sentence Stretching for Creative Writing

Sentence Stretching Booklet – Developing Sentence Writing
A visual, scaffolded sentence-writing booklet designed to help lower-attaining and SEND students develop and expand their sentences.
Students are guided through the simple Who? What? Where? When? Why? structure, gradually building short sentences into more detailed and interesting ones. The booklet uses visual prompts, sentence starters and simple vocabulary support to reduce cognitive load and encourage students to write independently.

The booklet includes:

• Sentence-building activities
• Who? What? Where? When? Why? prompts
• A simple verb definition and verb bank
• Visual/cartoon writing prompts
• Activities for stretching and improving sentences
• Stretch/challenge tasks for students ready to add more detail
• Clear, accessible language suitable for SEND and lower-attaining learners

Ideal for: KS3 / KS4 English, SEND English, intervention groups, literacy lessons, writing starters and independent writing practice.

Included in both .pdf and editable Word formats, so you can print immediately or adapt the resources for your own class.
