Assess your pupils' understanding of cohesive devices with this Year 6 Paragraphs in Fiction Prior Learning worksheet before moving onto learning about using paragraphs in fiction texts. It includes three varied fluency questions, two reasoning and one application question about a piece of fiction writing on an exciting camping trip.

A child-friendly answer sheet is provided to allow for peer or self marking to make marking and misconception checking quicker and easier.

This worksheet could be used as a prior knowledge check before the main lesson or with small groups of children who may need extra support with recognising cohesive devices. It could also be used as an intervention.
