What's included?
Targeted Year 5 resources to ensure pupils are ready to write accurately using direct and indirect speech, reinforcing both punctuation rules and grammar, a core KS2 GPS objective. Activities promote varied fluency in punctuating direct dialogue and converting it to the reported form, enhancing narrative complexity.
