I made this writing cheat sheet to help my class independently recognise what they need to add or change to their writing in order for them to truly say they’ve finished. The punctuation and conjunction sections are in line with the Y3 curriculum and then the ‘said synonyms’ and the ‘amazing adjectives’ are there to push vocabulary as that is something I’m very passionate about doing in the classroom.

Inspired by Vocabulary Ninja’s picture processors I took some pictures from the Literacy Shed, Pobble 365 and Once Upon A Picture to make my own. They are first aimed at focussing on what nouns, verbs and adjectives are before becoming more developed by also including adverbs, conjunctions and time adverbials.
