Check understanding
- Write a narrative that includes a described setting, at least one developed character, and a clear plot with a problem and resolution
- Use dialogue to show what characters say and reveal their personality or feelings
- Use descriptive details and temporal words to organise events into a clear sequence with a satisfying ending
“When your child writes a story, do they bring it to life with descriptions of the setting, details about the characters, and some dialogue — rather than just listing what happened?”
