This Year 3 Croc and Bird Blurb and Book Review resource provides an opportunity to write short, high-quality pieces of writing. If your children ever get over-faced by the prospect of writing a whole story, then why not try these shorter focused pieces of writing to achieve a high quality without the daunting prospect of writing too much.

Included is a blurb which contains sentences for children to edit and improve, following the structure taught in the LEARN to Develop Your Writing activity.

The book review also contains some sentence openers to get your reluctant writers going.

Use this worksheet alongside the teaching PowerPoint and find a modelled example of both the blurb and book review.
