This resource revisits verbs and challenges pupils to replace overused, ‘boring’ verbs with more precise and powerful choices. By experimenting with alternatives to words like went, got, and said, children learn how stronger verbs can transform the impact of a sentence and help the reader picture the action more clearly.

Through teacher-led slides and pupil tasks, this pack provides plenty of opportunities to practise rewriting and improving sentences, moving pupils beyond the basics and encouraging more effective word choices.

Part of the Writing Better Sentences sequence, this lesson builds on prior knowledge and supports pupils in developing control and variety in their writing.
