Full Description
This innovative new collection of photocopiable resources and teaching guidance provides a really practical solution to teaching writing to children in Year 6. It gives you ready-made examples to take children through the process of creating a piece of writing and saves valuable preparation time by coming up with new and creative ideas for modelled and shared writing sessions. The collection includes over 50 different resources, organised by term, covering a wide range of genres across fiction, poetry and non-fiction, at different stages of development - outline plan, draft version or polished version. Each photocopiable resource includes: clear links to the National Literacy Strategy's teaching objectives; short extract (ranging from a brief character sketch to a complete story); ideas for teacher-led whole class activities; tasks for children to complete, in groups or independently.
