In this engaging writing task children are asked to identify the direct speech used by Hannah and Dominic in a conversation they had after meeting again after four years. This Year 3 Recognising Direct Speech Application worksheet would be a great assessment tool as children use what they know about direct speech and apply it to their writing. This activity can be completed independently but could also be used as a discussion point for small groups or interventions.

The worksheet comes with a model answer which can either be shared with the children as a good example or used to aid your marking.
