Designed to support and build narrative skills, moving from spoken to written stories, this popular pack “From Oral to Written Narrative” goes beyond the simple narrative framework which may be familiar to younger children. It provides a fun set of colourful illustrated resources to further develop children’s use of descriptive language for character and setting.
The ideas in this pack are aimed at facilitating children’s understanding of a more complex story ‘blueprint’ (developed from the simpler versions of ‘who’, ‘where’, ‘when’, ‘what happened’ and ‘the end’). The ‘what happened’ element of the story is extended into more ‘problem–solution’ scenarios and additional resources are provided to support children’s understanding of the thoughts and feelings of the characters and how to incorporate dialogue into their oral and written narratives.
The focus of delivery in this narrative pack delivery is mainly via whole class activities, jointly planned with teachers and tailored to fit in with planned literacy targets.

Helping young writers (ages 7-11) transition from oral to written stories, the KS2 intervention in our popular series, “From Oral to Written Narrative”, includes complete lesson plans, story cue cards, story planners, coloured worksheets and illustrations to introduce concepts are provided:
Focusing on the development from storytelling to story writing, using a whole range of engaging activities, it is not intended that the chapters in this pack are followed in a prescriptive way, but rather that they can be used in any order depending on the aspects of the narrative that require further development. For example, some children may need the focus to be placed on how to extend their use of descriptive language for character and setting whereas others may need to be supported to develop a better understanding of the problem–solution aspect of their stories.
The focus of delivery in the KS2 narrative pack shifts from an intervention previously specifically aimed at small groups of children, to delivery via whole-class activities, jointly planned with teachers and tailored to fit in with planned literacy targets.
