WRITING EXCITING SENTENCES
- AGE 7 PLUS
By Alan Peat
(Creative Educational Press)
Price £15.00
Writing Exciting Sentences: Age 7 Plus provides teachers
with 25 sentence types and teaching tips to help pupils to use a varied
range of sentence types at appropriate points in both their fiction and
non-fiction writing.
Headteacher Sarah Thursfield, Christ Church CE Primary School, Fenton,
Stoke on Trent, was part of the trial group:
"At Christ Church C.E. Primary School, we decided there was a need
for a whole-school, consistent approach to the teaching of literacy skills. We
felt strongly that a progressive sentence based approach was a strategy
we could adopt in the hope of having a positive impact upon children's
ability as writers. Alan's book was just what
we needed; he had done all of the hard work for us! The teachers
were most appreciative of Alan's grammar tips (they even gained new knowledge). We've
taught many of Alan's sentence types and all pupils,
including boys, reluctant writers and those with special educational
needs, quickly found success and were eager to build upon their newly
developed skills.
Thank you Alan - we look foward to your next book!"
