They have explored the key features of instructional writing, understanding that the heading must clearly explain the purpose of the instructions while also engaging the reader to encourage them to continue reading. The children know that the steps need to be written in chronological order and have learnt how to use time adverbs and imperative verbs effectively. They also understand that each step must be clear and detailed to ensure the reader can follow the instructions easily and achieve success.
