The Art of Teaching Writing is an essential resource file that will support teachers in improving the quality of their childrens written outcomes.
Written by a hugely successful Primary Head and professional development trainer, this resource offers a pragmatic, proactive response to repeated concerns regarding how to assist children to develop the proficiency and precision required to write high quality, extended texts. Furthermore, it shows, very clearly, how reluctant boys can achieve success as writers.
The Art of Teaching Writing combines an accessible theoretical framework with a wide range of easy-to-use, high quality resource materials offering a wealth of practical support. These include over sixty model pieces of original writing that can be used by teachers, as well as twenty-five quality examples of writing created by children that can also be used as classroom models.
It also contains:
The resource also features a CD-ROM for use with interactive white boards. The CD includes electronic versions of photocopiable resources, model writing exemplars, the children's writing and 'word mat' resources which can be used as they are, or customised by the teacher.
The Art of Teaching Writing is essential reading for teachers, literacy subject leaders, trainee teachers, and others responsible for school improvement.
