Plurals – Most worksheet sites just have odd plural sheets whereas the topic actually needs structured work that helps children understand the different plural rules they need to know. This sheet is one example of the type of structured work we provide in our courses.

Putting sentences in order – Children need lots of different skills to improve their written work. One of those important skills is to learn to write in an ordered and logical way and this sheet is one small part of  that learning process. It combines with the hundreds of other sheets we supply and builds up into a fully structured learning programme that ensures children make as much progress as possible.

Collective Nouns – Widening a child’s vocabulary is delivered in many different ways. One topic is try to help children understand the different forms of collective nouns that we can use. As they learn these terms and get used to including them in their work so their writing improves.

Other worksheet examples included as part of year four English courses

Past and present  – An example from our grammar series which helps children to improve their knowledge of tenses.

Mad Word Pictures – Beautiful – Our special series of spelling worksheets which look at the words children struggle to learn. We use different learning strategies here to help the spelling sink in.

Zok the Space Monster – Part of our series of varied (and fun) comprehension work. Children have a comprehension exercise during every week of the course to ensure they develop this important skill properly.

Best Handwriting – EEN –  Here we combine further instruction on handwriting with spelling words using the pattern EEN. This combined activity not only improves spelling but also handwriting. Many parents don’t know how to help children with their handwriting and very few worksheets exist that deliver this important work in a structured way that ensures progress is made.

Plural Rules – thief-thieves, gipsy-gipsies –  It’s important to learn these important spelling rules as at this level spelling can get quite complicated. With the renewed focus on spelling in SATs tests this is especially important.

Word endings rule 6  – Another worksheet from our series on word endings rules.

Activity: Perform a poem

5. Find story inspiration

You can find fun story ideas anywhere! Why not raid your kitchen cupboards or hunt through the attic to find lost treasures? Anything from an old hat to a telescope will do the trick. What could the object be used for? Who might be looking for it? What secrets could it hold? Suggest different genres such as mystery or science fiction and discuss how the item might be used in this kind of story.

Real-world facts can also be a great source of inspiration. For example, did you know a jumping flea can accelerate faster than a space rocket taking off into orbit? What crazy story can your child make out of this fact? Newspapers and news websites can be great for finding these sorts of ideas.

For more storytelling ideas, download our free Story idea generator  or our Character profile activity sheet .

Activity: Story idea generator

Activity: Character profile

6. Draw your ideas first

If your child isn’t sure where to start with a story or even a piece of non-fiction, it can sometimes be helpful to sketch out their ideas first. For instance, can they draw a picture of a dastardly villain or a brave hero? How about a scary woodland or an enchanted castle?

Your child might also find it useful to draw maps or diagrams. What are all the different areas of their fantasy landscape called? How is the baddie’s base organised?

Some children might enjoy taking this idea a step further and drawing their own comics. This is great practice – it stretches your child’s creativity, gets them thinking about plot, character, and dialogue, and is a big confidence boost once they’ve finished and have an amazing story to look back on.

What your child will learn

In Year 4 (age 8–9), your child will be aiming to build upon the goals and expectations they were first set in Year 3. They will be expected to:

• Discussing writing similar to that which they are planning to write in order to understand and learn from its structure, vocabulary and grammar
• Discussing and recording their ideas.
• Composing and rehearsing sentences orally (including dialogue), progressively building a varied and rich vocabulary and an increasing range of sentence structures
• Organising paragraphs around a theme
• In narratives, creating settings, characters and plot
• In non-narrative material, using simple organisational devices (for example, headings and sub-headings).
• Assessing the effectiveness of their own and others’ writing and suggesting improvements
• Proposing changes to grammar and vocabulary to improve consistency, including the accurate use of pronouns in sentences .
• Proof-read for spelling and punctuation errors.

Handwriting, spelling, grammar, and punctuation are all important aspects of writing too. You can find out more about them on our dedicated pages:
