Extending Sentence To Make Them Interesting
KS2 children need help with writing interesting sentences and extending sentences. Given the choice, most will opt for writing short simple sentences mainly because it is easier. However, when writing, sentences need to be varied in order to keep the readers interest. This means children need to learn how to improve their writing by using better vocabulary and ensuring they are grammatically correct.
Primary school children are expected to achieve a high level of grammar, spelling and punctuation skills before children leave Primary School. These skills are essential in both fiction writing and non-fiction writing.
Practise Makes Perfect
At school, children will be taught and shown ways in which they can make their sentences more interesting. This is an ongoing theme and needs to be practised at school regularly and through homework. With continuous practise, children will begin to automatically think about their vocabulary choice and sentence structure when writing.
How To Improve Your Writing
KS2 children will learn about nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs. These are needed when making sentences more interesting and complex.
When children have completed a piece of writing, it is always a good idea to get them into the habit of checking their work to find ways in which they can improve it. This editing habit can be practised by following a few simple steps, which can be turned into a routine, every time they do some writing.
Writing Checklist

Common questions
Questions parents ask
- What is the difference between a verb and an adverb?
- A verb is the action or doing word, like run, think or jump. An adverb describes that verb and tells you how, when or where it happened, like quickly, yesterday or outside.
- How can I help my child with writing at home?
- Talk the idea through before they pick up a pencil. Planning out loud takes the pressure off the blank page. Keep the pieces short, praise one thing they did well, then let them read it back to you.
- What is a story mountain?
- A story mountain is a simple plan that splits a story into five parts: the opening, the build-up, the problem, the resolution and the ending. It helps a child see the shape of a story before they start writing.
