About this teaching resource

Dive into the world of realistic fiction with our 6-page PDF resource Realistic Fiction Writing Unit, Yr 4, for teachers.

Employing the READING LIKE A WRITER approach, students delve into read-alouds, shared reading, and mentor texts to hone their narrative skills. Utilise a variety of mentor texts to help students grasp the genre and compare different versions.

Try our 'good writer' mini lessons:  For example, good writers of realistic fiction follow a structure, plan their story, and make revisions. They write from a character's viewpoint, creating believable characters facing real-life issues. They craft engaging beginnings, describe characters and settings vividly, and use various sentence lengths and precise language. They experiment with punctuation, edit for errors, and share their stories with others, sometimes adding illustrations.

Empower students to unleash their creativity and storytelling prowess while honing their writing skills.
