Creating Superhero Stories is a narrative KS3 resource suitable for use by speech and language professionals, teachers and teaching assistants. Pupils aged 9 years and above are increasingly required to record their narratives in written form. The greater emphasis on the use of written narrative to demonstrate knowledge, understanding and general ability within a subject has the potential to doubly disadvantage any young person who has difficulties with understanding and using narrative.
An effective method to support students’ written narrative is to provide writing frames or templates to scaffold both their fiction and non-fiction writing. These writing frames typically consist of outlines that provide keyword prompts. However, by the time a young person reaches secondary education, such writing frames are rarely used, if at all, as pupils are expected to have reached a certain level of competence in maintaining a written narrative.
“Creating Superhero Stories” is a targeted intervention for pupils between the ages of 9 years and 14+ years, who may need additional support to develop well-structured oral and written narrative accounts, helping them develop their Narrative writing through superhero stories.

A key feature of the success of Black Sheep Press narrative intervention programmes has been the use of a common set of narrative elements with associated visual prompts, and these are also included in this narrative KS3 Creating Superhero Stories resource. The theme of superheroes continues to be a high interest topic and the strong visual approach here is designed to support pupils in the development of their narrative skills, using superhero tales to produce a coherent fictional story.
What’s Inside
