Support Year 1 sentence writing with 12 animal picture prompts, word banks and three support levels. Includes 36 writing worksheets and teacher guidance.

Help beginning writers say a sentence, write it and reread it using a simple checklist for capital letters, spaces and full stops.

WHAT IS INCLUDED

• 12 original animal pictures, each presented in three support formats.
• 36 printable writing worksheets.
• 2 pages of teacher guidance.
• 1 worked teacher model.
• 3 pages of example sentences.
• 43 pages in total, including the cover.

THREE SUPPORT OPTIONS

1. Start with support: a sentence starter and word bank.
2. Build a sentence: a word bank without a sentence starter.
3. Add a detail: independent sentence writing with an added detail.

Choose the appropriate support option for each learner. The same 12 pictures appear in all three formats; these are 12 picture prompts, not 36 different scenes.

HOW TO USE

Use for short writing sessions, guided groups or additional sentence-writing practice. Begin with oral rehearsal, support pupils with unfamiliar words, then encourage them to write and check their sentence.

Example answers are included for teacher reference. Other sentences are welcome when they make sense and match the picture.

SUITABILITY

Designed for Year 1 / KS1 beginning writers. Pupils need some letter-formation and sound–letter knowledge. Adjust support to the learner and read unfamiliar words aloud where needed. This is a sentence-writing resource, not a phonics programme.
