A drawing box at the top and ruled lines below invite illustrated story writing — the layout used in many KS1 classrooms. Children sketch the scene first, then write sentences underneath.
Print at 100% on A4. Use the page controls to check the complete resource before downloading.
Plan a story with a picture and sentences
A drawing box sits above 16 writing lines with 10 mm spacing. This A4 sheet gives children a place to sketch an idea before writing about it.
- Draw one scene in the picture box.
- Say a sentence aloud about who is there and what happens.
- Write the sentence below, leaving spaces between words.
- Read it back and add another detail if there is room.
Try this example
Draw a child beside a tree. Start with “I found a leaf.” Then add a detail: “It was red and gold.”
Print at actual size to keep the 10 mm spacing. For a longer piece without a drawing, switch to standard or wide lined paper.
