The Week
We have made this resource to give you a sequenced week of writing activities for your students.
It is possible to use the pages separately however, and tailor the work for your own student
needs. The following instructions apply to all of our ‘Writing Book’ resources.

DAY 1 - Model with Teacher Cards + Read & Paste Page

Use the teacher flashcards to model how to make a sentence with the words. Start with the words
in random order, read it to the students and ask if it makes sense. Ask the students to help you get
the words into the correct order. Model reading strategies and also writing strategies, such as
leaving spaces between words and ending with a period/full stop.

Students read the sentence in their own book, point to each word and paste the words into the
correct places to make the sentence.
Discuss the writing strategies of left-to-right formation, capital letter to begin, spaces between
words, period/full stop at the end and picture to match text.

DAY 2 - Paste & Trace Page

Revise the sentence structure from yesterday. Talk about the new word at the end of today’s
sentence. Make it with the big cards. Students once again paste the words to match in their own
book. Students also trace a copy of the sentence. A small dot has been placed on the starting
position of each letter, to guide students with correct letter formation.

DAY 3 - Paste & Write Page

Students paste the words into place, this time without being able to match the words to a model.
They must read the words they cut out and place them in correct order before they paste them
down. Students then write a copy of the sentence, using their ‘pasted version’ as a model.

The Week

DAY 4 - Finish Page

Students can attempt to write a sentence of their own. Some students may repeat one of the same
sentences they have been working on for the last three days, others will innovate and write a new
sentence. We suggest you get the teachers cards ready for another mini-lesson on writing, and
model how to make a new sentence, such as:
church.

Students can illustrate their work with a small

picture in the box provided.

DAY 5 - Write Page

Students can attempt to write a sentence of their own. Encourage them to use the skills and words
they have practiced through the week.

Making the Books

Print Copy Cut & Staple
Choose the pages that are appropriate for your week of learning - or mix up the pages from a
few different versions of our ‘Writing Books’. Arrange the pages and staple them ready for your
students.

You will also need to print, copy and cut the word pages, so that students can complete the cut
and paste on days 1, 2 and 3.
