Writing Genres Pack | 3rd–6th Class
Take the stress out of teaching writing genres with this comprehensive, ready-to-use Writing Genres Pack for 3rd–6th Class. Designed to support pupils from the initial teaching of each genre right through to planning, drafting, editing and independent writing, the pack combines clear teaching displays with practical, engaging pupil activities.
Each section breaks the genre down into manageable steps, with key features, useful vocabulary and writing tips before pupils put their learning into practice. For example, narrative writing explores setting, characters, structure and problem/resolution before moving into dedicated writing activities.
Genres included:
Narrative Writing – character and setting development, story generators, brilliant beginnings, effective endings, planning, drafting and editing
Recount Writing – timelines, sequencing, recount planning, picture prompts and editing activities
Procedural Writing – recipes, instructions, directions, experiments and step-by-step writing
Report Writing – research, factual writing, animals, countries, history and information reports
Explanation Writing – processes, life cycles, cause and effect, diagrams and explanation planning
Persuasive Writing – persuasive techniques, advertisements, debates, persuasive letters, arguments and sales language
Writing to Socialise – formal and informal writing, letters, emails, invitations, postcards, notices and more
The variety of resources allows teachers to pick and choose activities to suit their class, making the pack ideal for whole-class teaching, literacy stations, independent work, homework or writing folders.
With plenty of scaffolding for pupils who need support alongside more challenging activities for confident writers, this is a resource you can return to throughout 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th Class.
Simply print the pages you need and teach each writing genre with everything in one place.
