Do you ever feel like your children's writing focuses more on quantity than quality? We’ve carefully selected a popular text for each year group and designed a variety of activities that help children delve deeply into the text, sparking ideas and creativity before moving on to writing. Each pack offers a range of activities to help children build up to an extended piece of writing. We’ve suggested a sequence that might work well, but you’re free to adapt and rearrange as you see fit.
