  Designed to complement any scheme in practice in schools, this collection of attractively-illustrated activities will provide an invaluable resource for all primary school teachers. This pack explores a vital part of the programme of study for English at Key Stage 1 and 2. It aims to help children of all ages and abilities to learn to understand the value of writing; to enjoy expressing their ideas; to do this clearly and imaginatively and to write in a variety of forms and narratives. The book provides a range of starting points and stimuli which encourage children to try writing stories in a variety of styles - from adventure and historical stories, to scary and fairy stories. Each chapter features material for different levels and the activities can either stand on their own or be used as part of project work. There are also ideas for exploring the skills of drafting and oral story making.
