Who needs paragraphs, topic sentences, vocabulary choice, standardised spelling, punctuation, even grammar—when phrases like 'idk', 'lit', 'brb', 'yas' gets you through?
That's because we CAN do so much more! ‘Real’ writing is the window to clear, concise communication, across time and space, to our personality, our intellect, our knowledge, our understandings. Effective, learned and practised writing skills and strategies are vital for higher education; they enable analysis, logical thinking as a life skill; and they are often a prerequisite for employment.
Teaching strategies for writing
Through this 6-book series, students are directed to produce clear, precise writing for a specific purpose and to understand that proofreading and editing is an integral part of the writing process.
Structured to help your students
Each book are divided into four sections: word choices, sentence structure, punctuation and editing/proofreading. Covering the key basis of good writing.
Practice makes perfect
Teachers can work on worksheets together with their students. They also allow differentiation, where some children may be able to complete the sheets independently.
Assess and record progress
Each of the units has a page of assessment activities. These will give teachers a record of individual understanding and achievement, and highlight common points of weakness.
