Direct and Indirect Speech Posters
Amazing Man helps students to learn what both direct and indirect speech entails as well as providing examples on how they can use it themselves.
Grasping the concept of direct speech can be somewhat challenging, but indirect speech is even trickier for kids! Use these posters as a visual reference to remind kids what each function is and how they can use it effectively in their writing.
