WHAT REVIEWERS ARE SAYING “As an English teacher, I am a firm believer in mixed ability classes and lessons that can be differentiated happily and successfully. This book achieves this so well as the ideas are varied, clearly laid out and interesting, with enough stimulus to appeal to the reluctant, and enough thought provoking phrases to appeal to the most eloquent and able.” LoveReading4Schools “A brilliant resource that will inspire children to write for pleasure across a range of genres. Perfect for Key Stage Two teachers, parents, and the children themselves, Wicked Writing Skills is overflowing with ideas and prompts that will be sure to spark children’s creativity. It links to many objectives from the Key Stage Two English curriculum. Teachers will be able to dip into the book to find great activities to support and extend their teaching in the classroom while parents will find it invaluable to help reinforce school lessons and provide children with a chance to write for fun.” Scope for Imagination “This wonderful work-book would be a fantastic addition to any home-learning library to supplement the English activities that children receive from school. There are so many ideas between the pages to get children started that it takes the hard-work out of thinking up an interesting and sufficiently challenging task. It’s also a great book for tired teachers to dip into for a quick burst of inspiration.” Primary Teacher Bookshelf “The pupils who I used this book with were secondary school pupils who struggled with confidence in writing due to dyslexia or other learning needs, and they said they liked the fact that the activities were varied and allowed them to choose a subject or topic that interested them. They also liked the fact that the layout of the book meant that they could focus on the quality of their writing rather than the quantity, as many of the activities were short, snappy activities that allowed pupils to focus on their ideas, but also basics such as sentence construction. This book is highly valued at my school and has been used multiple times by the literacy support teachers, who praise it highly.” UK based teacher
