Help your students master narrative writing with this scaffolded Year 1 Narrative Writing Assessment Pack, built around an exciting “Unexpected Visitor” story theme.
Year 1 Narrative Writing Pack: Unexpected Visitor
This Year 1 narrative writing pack guides young writers step‑by‑step as they learn to plan, draft and publish their own imaginative narrative — while supporting teachers with clear, consistent assessment tools.
Inside the pack, students follow a simple, structured sequence: exploring a model text, answering story comprehension questions, planning each part of their narrative, drafting their story, and editing their writing using a student‑friendly checklist.
A detailed Year 1 Narrative Writing Rubric is included to support assessment, moderation, and reporting.
