Are you looking for a differentiated resource that will help children identify the features of explanation texts? Look no further than our Key Stage 2 Sorting Features of an Explanation Text Pack. This resource has been differentiated into three levels of challenge and there are two worksheets per level. These resources include a group activity with the features of different texts, including explanation text, that need to be chopped up for children to sort into the provided table. The other resource is an individual version of the group activity and is ideal for independent learning. There's an answer sheet included in the individual activity too making this an easy to assess activity.

Our differentiation makes this resource suitable for use across Key Stage 2, and you can find out more below.
