About Flyers writing worksheets
At Flyers (A2), children write short connected texts. The Flyers Reading and Writing paper includes writing a short story based on a sequence of pictures, and learners also complete sentences, answer questions and write short messages or diary entries.
Worksheets guide children through planning a story from pictures, using linking words such as then, after that and suddenly, and choosing past tenses correctly. Other tasks practice describing people and places, writing about personal experiences and answering questions about a text in full sentences.
Each worksheet includes a teacher copy with model answers and an answer key for controlled tasks. Print or download it as a PDF, or share a class link so children can type their answers online without an account.
Teaching tips: Flyers writing worksheets
- Ask children to tell the picture story orally in pairs before writing it.
- Teach three or four story linkers explicitly and ask children to use each at least once.
- Encourage learners to write at least 20 words for a picture story, and more if they can.
- Use a simple checklist for self-editing: past tense verbs, capital letters, periods and linkers.
