Synopsis
Carefully graded pupil books, for years 3 to 6, focus on the core skills and will help pupils develop their ideas and gain confidence in their writing ability. They provide coverage of a range of text types and genres, including narrative, drama, poetry, recount, instructional, reports, explanatory, persuasive and discursive writing, following the NLS objectives for Teaching English at KS2. Designed to support the CDs, "Igniting Writing Pupils' Books" offer a skills-based approach to aid pupils in extended writing tasks for fiction, non-fiction and poetry. They use Sue Palmer's writing skeletons to help pupils' structure both fiction and non-fiction writing. Pupil Books can also be used independently of the CDs as a standalone resource.

Customer Reviews

Disappointed
I was looking for something to help my ten year old daughter practice her writing skills and develop a taste for writing. This was a bad choice. I imagined it would have some fun writing exercises, to apply some of the advice it gives - it doesn't. It is very repetitious and is basically just page after page of stating the obvious. Sorry, but I really wouldn't recommend it.
