This Year 6 Consolidating Formal and Informal Writing Prior Learning resource provides an opportunity for pupils to prepare themselves for the work to come later in this unit. Questions about vocabulary choice, standard English, formal language and the appropriacy of using formal or informal language remind them about the key points which they will focus on. There is a mixture of fluency, application and reasoning style questions with an answer sheet to make marking quick and easy.

This worksheet is suitable for independent work, small groups or paired work.
