Before the quiz, here is what the topic means at this level. Year 1 writing covers writing simple sentences with capital letters and full stops, using and to join ideas, writing short recounts and stories, and recognising nouns, verbs and adjectives.
Every question on this page was written to a specific Victorian Curriculum reference for Year 1 and checked by an RHZ tutor before it could be served.

Three things a parent or student can do this week:
For Prep to Year 2, the single most powerful habit is a daily shared book. Point to words, talk about sounds and let your child retell the story.
Every set on this page is a seeded selection of 9 from the 9 writing & grammar questions that pass our quality gate.
