Informative Writing Routines | Printable Planning Mats | Years 2–6 | Information Plans, Research Notes, Procedures, Explanations & More
Give your whole class a clear, simple way to plan an informative text before they write, with planning mats that grow with your writers from Year 2 to Year 6.
This pack brings together every planning page you need for informative writing in one place. Start with the information plan for your year level, then add the planning mats for the text type you're teaching, from gathering facts and taking notes to planning procedures, explanations and the text features that help a reader find information. Use them as informative writing planners or graphic organisers with any topic.
