Is there an equivalent resource for upper primary too?
- Sam Acres · 7 months ago
  
  Hi Lachlan, we don't have an exact version of this for the upper primary grades, however, it's a great idea! Feel free to suggest it to our resource creation team with the "Suggest a resource" link at the footer of our site. If it helps, we do have quite a bit a resource around persuasive writing, which includes content for upper primary - I've included a link to it here: https://www.teachstarter.com/au/learning-area/persuasive-writing/
