Write instructions that can be followed

Learn it simply

  • Instructions tell a reader how to carry out a process.
  • Identify the intended user and list any essential materials or conditions before the steps.
  • Put actions in their actual order and use clear imperative verbs such as fold, turn, or check.

See it. Say it. Understand it.

Easy / Start here

Moderate / Add a little

Check that the lid is secure before shaking.

Instructions tell a reader how to carry out a process. Identify the intended user and list any essential materials or conditions before the steps. Put actions in their actual order and use clear imperative verbs such as fold, turn, or check. Include measurements, directions, and safety information where they matter. A step should be specific enough to follow without guessing. After drafting, imagine a new user carrying out the process literally; this reveals missing actions that seemed obvious to the writer.

Plan before drafting: identify the reader, the purpose, and the information that must be included. Select a small number of useful details and place them in a logical order. After writing, check the effect on a reader who does not know your intentions. Revise unclear meaning first, then check sentence boundaries, verb forms, spelling, and punctuation.

ලියන්නේ කාටද, ඇයිද සහ ඇතුළත් කළ යුතු කරුණු මොනවාද යන්න මුලින් සැලසුම් කරන්න. අදහස් පිළිවෙළට ලියා, අර්ථය පැහැදිලි කර පසුව වාක්‍ය, ක්‍රියාපද, අක්ෂර වින්‍යාසය හා විරාම ලකුණු පරීක්ෂා කරන්න.

At Stage 2, use a short familiar scene, a picture book, or a shared classroom experience. An adult can model the language first and invite the child to explain the meaning orally. Keep attention on a small amount of successful language before extending it. The examples are teaching models rather than a formal written examination.

Adapt letters and emails to the reader

Learn it simply

  • A letter or email needs a clear purpose, appropriate relationship, and useful organisation.
  • State why you are writing early, give the information the recipient needs, and make any request specific.
  • A message to a friend can be conversational; a request to a principal usually needs a respectful register.

See it. Say it. Understand it.

Easy / Start here

I am writing to request permission to use the hall on Friday.

Moderate / Add a little

Could you please confirm whether the room is available?

More detail for teachers and confident learners

A letter or email needs a clear purpose, appropriate relationship, and useful organisation. State why you are writing early, give the information the recipient needs, and make any request specific. A message to a friend can be conversational; a request to a principal usually needs a respectful register. Format conventions support communication but do not replace meaningful content. End in a way that suits the relationship. Proofread names, dates, and the requested action because errors in these details can cause practical confusion.

Organise a clear paragraph

Learn it simply

  • Start with one main idea.
  • Give a reason. Add a short example.
  • End with a sentence that connects to the main idea.

See it. Say it. Understand it.

Easy / Start here

Reading is useful.

Moderate / Add a little

Reading is useful because it helps us learn new words.

Challenge / Try when ready

Regular reading builds vocabulary; for example, a short story can show how familiar words work in a new context.

More detail for teachers and confident learners

A paragraph develops a connected part of a larger text. In an explanation, an opening idea may be followed by a reason, an example, and a sentence showing why it matters. In a story, a new paragraph can mark a change of time, place, speaker, or focus. There is no rule that every paragraph must have the same number of sentences. Check that each sentence belongs and that the reader can follow the movement from one idea to the next. Start a new paragraph when the central focus changes.

Plan before drafting: identify the reader, the purpose, and the information that must be included. Select a small number of useful details and place them in a logical order. After writing, check the effect on a reader who does not know your intentions. Revise unclear meaning first, then check sentence boundaries, verb forms, spelling, and punctuation.
