A marvellous and comprehensive map of the writing journey, guiding the reader from the first words and ideas, step-by-step through to the final draft. The Writing Book offers some excellent tips for helping your class to become independent, confident writers who are creative but who also understand the machinations of what good writing looks like. This accessible, useful book is full of ideas for encouraging children and young people to write well with as much originality as possible. It's practical, with lots of enjoyable exercises and strong examples across a wide range of writing genres. * Ink Pellet magazine *
