This challenging Year 4 Using Speech in Paragraphs Application worksheet provides children with the opportunity to complete a written task where they can demonstrate their use and understanding of direct and indirect speech. They are presented with some brief information and an image and asked to use both direct and indirect speech to write at least two paragraphs of a recount.

This engaging worksheet can be completed independently, in pairs or as a teacher-led activity. It could be used in class or at home to give children the opportunity to apply their learning. A modelled answer is given which you can either show to your pupils as a good example or use it to inspire your marking.
