Free Year 6 Writing Gap Audit
A free Redbridge Publishing writing audit designed to identify the highest-impact Year 6 writing gaps before you decide what to teach next.
Finished the writing audit?
Choose the two or three writing priorities that will make the biggest difference, then see our Year 6 tuition, SATs and secondary-school readiness pathway if you would like help turning those gaps into a teaching plan.
What is included?
- Two independent writing tasks: one narrative and one non-fiction
- A 10-skill writing audit covering purpose, cohesion, sentence control, punctuation, vocabulary, description, dialogue, non-fiction structure, editing and independence
- A next-step map showing which Writing Mastery module to use first
How to use the audit
- Ask the pupil to plan briefly and write independently.
- Avoid supplying sentence starters or correcting language while they write.
- Look for repeated patterns across both pieces rather than one isolated mistake.
- Choose the first 2–3 high-impact priorities.
Found the writing gap? Fix it next.
Use the audit to identify the strongest teaching priorities, then move straight to the matching module in the Year 6 Writing Mastery Pack.
