A set of differentiated templates for students to use when planning a recount.
Differentiated Recount Writing Templates
Make recount writing clear, structured, and accessible for every learner with this set of four differentiated writing templates. Designed to support students at varying stages of development, these templates scaffold the recount writing process, from organising ideas to crafting detailed, engaging narratives.
Each template provides targeted support while maintaining a consistent recount structure (orientation, sequence of events, and conclusion), helping students build confidence and independence as writers.
Supporting Recount Writing in the Early Years
Recount writing in the early years focuses on helping young learners retell personal experiences in a simple, meaningful way. These templates encourage students to sequence events, use basic time connectives (e.g. first, next, then), and express their ideas through drawing and emerging writing.
With visual supports and guided prompts, students can develop oral language alongside early writing skills, building a strong foundation for more structured recounts as they progress.
