Foundation Recount Writing Unit | Worksheets, Games & Assessment

This Foundation Recount Writing unit helps students draw, say and write simple recounts about events that have already happened. Students practise using the 5 Ws — who, when, where, what and why — and adding a feeling to make their recount clearer and more interesting.

It is designed for Foundation English lessons focused on early writing, oral rehearsal, recount structure, simple sentences, drawing to communicate ideas, familiar vocabulary and personal event writing.
