Years 3–4: Persuasive Sentence Skills Task Cards
Sentence Skills Task Cards | Persuasive | Years 3–4 | Complete 4-Skill Set
120 persuasive task cards that build the sentence-level skills students need in their own writing. Cards progress from simple to independent across four skill sets, and no year level appears on the cards, so they suit mixed-ability groups.
The Four Skills
- Capitals & Punctuation: from capitalising sentences and proper nouns, through apostrophes and dialogue punctuation, to editing a whole passage
- Combining Sentences: from joining two short sentences, through subordinating conjunctions and relative clauses, to combining a choppy passage
- Vocabulary Precision: from replacing vague verbs and nouns, through precise adjectives and shades of meaning, to revising a passage's word choice
- Adding Detail: from a single adjective or adverb, through sensory detail and showing feelings, to expanding a bare passage with rich description
The Routine
Every card follows the same three steps: Fix / Combine / Upgrade / Expand → Challenge → Talk. Students find what needs work, improve it, then explain why their change makes the writing better.
