Check understanding
- Explain the difference between 'formal register' and 'informal register' and give an example of when each is appropriate
- Use terms like 'coherence', 'cohesion', and 'paragraph structure' accurately when discussing or improving their own writing
- Identify the 'purpose', 'audience', and 'form' of a piece of writing and explain how these shape the language choices
“If your child is writing a persuasive letter compared to a story, can they explain the difference in 'tone' and 'register' — and why they'd make different word choices for each one?”
