Teach students how to relay information clearly and accurately with this engaging, ready‑to‑use PowerPoint lesson on reporting verbs.

Covering the same high‑quality content as the Reporting Verbs Guide, this presentation helps learners understand how reporting verbs, such as said, explained, argued, suggested, claimed and admitted, introduce reported speech, summarise ideas and shape tone.

Students explore how different reporting verbs can change the meaning or emphasis of a sentence, and how choosing the right verb helps convey intention more precisely.

With clear explanations, model examples and guided practice tasks, learners discover how reporting verbs function in real contexts and how they support stronger communication in both formal and creative writing.

Designed for learners aged 11 and up, this PowerPoint is ideal for whole‑class teaching, tutoring sessions or independent study, supporting KS3 English, early GCSE preparation, home learning and revision.
