This creative Year 3 Writing Direct Speech Application worksheet will challenge your pupils to apply their knowledge and understanding of the conventions of writing direct speech. The task is to complete a story about two characters in a dark cave. With a guide of things to do and synonyms for said to use, children can let their imaginations run wild!

Suitable for use as an assessed piece of writing or as guided writing for smaller groups or interventions. A modelled answer has been provided for you to either share with your class as a good example or to assist the marking.
