About the Book

This is a thoroughly practical guide for teachers, offering a whole host of ways to help all their students to improve their writing skills. In this third edition, bestselling author Sue Cowley offers advice on improving skills and confidence, and getting students excited about writing - not just in literacy or English, but across the curriculum. This book is full of engaging and creative approaches for writers at all stages of confidence and competence: from children just starting to write, to experienced learners looking to perfect their own style. This edition includes new material on: writing in the Digital Age; creative ideas for getting boys to write; and, cross-curricular writing projects. On the companion website you'll find lots of useful extras, including advice about the teacher as writer - how you can use your writing skills beyond the school. This thoroughly practical guide will interest all educators who want to maximise the potential of every one of their students. It is an invaluable resource for teachers working at secondary and FE level, but equally a source of inspiration and practical advice for practitioners in primary schools. This innovative series provides teaching practitioners with a wealth of practical advice for use in a variety of educational settings.
