Writing: using inverted commas

Wednesday 29 April 2026

Year 3 are going to be writing a recount. What is a recount?

A recount re-tells events and describes what has happened.

Our recount will be inspired by a picture book called  ‘The Flood’ by Alvaro F. Villa.

In our recount we’re going to include; description, action and dialogue (direct speech).

We’ve began practising our use of inverted commas for direct speech…

Help at home by practising writing direct speech. Have a conversation with someone at home and write it down using inverted commas. Use the list of R2s above to help you!

Here’s some great examples from our learning.
