Write This Way : Structured lessons and activities for reluctant young writers Paperback / softback

Many children avoid writing for a number of reasons – perhaps they find it tedious or frustrating, or perhaps they have dyslexia or dysgraphia.

This structured programme of writing activities and lessons makes writing engaging and accessible for reluctant writers, by encouraging primary teachers and learners to work together to develop children’s writing skills. The book covers all aspects of primary school writing, including grammar, sentence development, punctuation, paragraph writing and planning.

It also shows teachers how to develop self-sufficiency skills in writing and encourage learner independence.

Each section in the book builds on previous skills learned, from word level up to creative writing skills, providing pupils with a complete range of writing tools.

The ready-to-use resources for each topic - including mini lessons, discovery tools and activities - offer extensions and adaptations to suit all pupil needs, including fun ideas for multisensory learning, group interventions or to keep pupils learning outside of the classroom. For school staff working with children who find writing challenging, this practical toolkit provides a range of activities based on solid research and hands-on experience that can be incorporated straight into lessons and teaching practices.
