Based on her experiences as a class teacher, Jacqueline Harrett's book is packed with exciting, creative ideas for teaching writing in the classroom.
With activities for Key Stages 1 and 2, it shows busy class teachers how children's literacy is relevant across the curriculum.
Each chapter uses a different idea to get children writing, and the following are all used as a starting point for lively literacy lessons:
- imagination and visualisation
- picture books
- photographs
- paintings
- films and TV
- comics
Primary school teachers, Literacy Co-ordinators, trainee teachers and anyone looking for engaging and imaginative ideas to help them teach writing in their classroom will find this book fits the bill.
