Questions about Writing to Publish

What does the Writing to Publish worksheet cover?

It practises preparing a piece for a reader who is not in the room — 2 questions for Grade 3, all on Common Core W.3.6: Type and publish your writing, and work on it with others. The instruction to pupils is “Write on the lines. Use the checklist”, and the answer key follows on the next sheet.

Which Common Core standard does Writing to Publish practise?

CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.W.3.6 — W.3.6, in the Writing domain for Grade 3. The published standard reads: “With guidance and support from adults, use technology to produce and publish writing (using keyboarding skills) as well as to interact and collaborate with others.” The worksheet assesses that standard rather than a paraphrase of it.

What age or grade is this worksheet for?

Writing to Publish is written for Grade 3, typically ages 8-9. It is one of the sheets on W.3.6, so it suits any pupil working at that standard — including older pupils revisiting it and younger ones working ahead.

Does Writing to Publish come with an answer key?

Yes. All 2 answers are generated from the same problems as the questions, so the key cannot drift out of step with the sheet. It starts on a fresh sheet of paper, after the questions, so it is not handed out with the class by accident.

How many different versions of Writing to Publish can I print?

25 versions, of which 15 ask genuinely different questions — this skill does not have 25 distinct questions to give, so the rest reorder them and no two pupils still share a paper. Set 1 downloads all 25 as one PDF.

Is Writing to Publish free to print and photocopy?

Yes. Writing to Publish, its answer key and its 25 versions are free to print and photocopy for your own class, with no account, no email capture and no subscription at the download step. Please do not resell them or republish them as your own.
