This resource revisits sentence building by encouraging pupils to extend simple sentences with because to explain why something happened. By adding reasons and explanations, children learn how to make their writing clearer, more detailed and more engaging for the reader.

Through teacher-led slides and pupil tasks, this pack provides structured opportunities to practise rewriting and extending sentences, helping pupils move beyond the basics and gain confidence in giving reasons.

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