Alan Peat's unique INSET, conference and school based training provides teachers and school leaders with practical, effective and enjoyable strategies for raising pupil achievement in both writing and reading.

ALAN PEAT’S TALK/WRITING TARGET CARDS

These will add a new dimension to target setting for 4 – 12 year olds.

With Nursery and Reception pupils they can be used with wordless picture books – hold up a card when a pupil is ‘telling’ a picture and the card acts as a visual talk target.

With older children, they become visual writing targets.

The cards help schools to begin target setting with the youngest pupils for whom a written target would be inappropriate. They also link oral expectations with later written outcomes.

The 52 postcard sized cards have child-friendly illustrations on one side and written explanations of the target on the other.
