Talk for Writing – Leon (4-Week Narrative Writing Unit)

This 4-week Talk for Writing unit is built around the portal fantasy narrative Leon and is designed for Year 4 / Upper Primary pupils.

This unit is also included in a full 22-unit KS2 narrative writing bundle covering an entire term of structured writing.

The unit follows the Talk for Writing teaching sequence of Imitation, Analysis, Innovation, and Independent Application, supporting pupils to internalise narrative structure and apply suspense and portal-story techniques confidently in their own writing.

Across the unit, pupils will:

• explore how atmosphere and setting create tension

• analyse character reactions and author choices

• develop sentence structure and vocabulary for impact

• innovate the model text by changing setting, character, or key events

• plan, write, edit, and present an independent narrative

This resource provides clear, structured daily lesson outlines for a full four-week sequence and is intended as a flexible planning guide, allowing teachers to adapt modelling and shared writing to suit their own class context.
