Opis

Let’s Write provides teachers of literacy with activities that are both stimulating and easy to use in conjunction with the different types of writing that pupils are expected to do in key stage 2 of the new curriculum. It offers readymade resources for hard-pressed teachers, particularly inexperienced teachers, supply teachers and non-specialist. The book is divided into four main sections, each focusing on a particular type of writing – personal writing, persuasive writing, writing to inform and creative writing.

Coverage includes:-

• Autobiography, biographies and diary entries,
• Newspaper articles, instructions, advertisements and speech writing
• Creative writing, including narratives, play-scripts and poems
• A separate section on Grammar, Spelling and Punctuation, which is designed to help teachers to prepare pupils for the new English test.
• Games and activities aimed at extending pupils’ vocabulary
