HFW Word Mat connectives VCOP Writing reminders

One side shows a selection of high frequency words in alphabetical order, and the other shows reminders of punctuation pyramid, connectives, presenting a sentence, interesting colour adjectives and a selection from the child's targets e.g. read your work through, use commas to pause. I laminated these mats back to back, and asked children to check through their work and tick with a whiteboard pen before coming to show me they were finished, to try and instil an ethos of checking their work independently.
