Brilliant Activities for Creative Writing, Year 3

The Brilliant Activities for Creative Writing series is designed to stimulate developing writers to access the National Curriculum Programmes of Study for writing composition.

Each book contains practice activities to assist pupils in understanding, revising and consolidating their skills in writing. The activities are structured to help each pupil to understand how to:

• write for a widening range of purposes and audiences
• organize ideas into coherent and grammatically correct sentences
• improve, and make progress in, their own writing
• increase their accuracy in the use of punctuation
• develop their knowledge and confidence in spelling
• use and enlarge their writing vocabulary
• write in different ways for different genres and types of text
• develop their own way with words

The sheets are structured but flexible so that they can be used alone or as follow-ons. The ideas on the sheets can all be used as a basis for more lessons for reinforcement purposes. Each book aims to offer:

• a range of familiar text forms
• a range of appropriate contexts
• opportunities to experiment with words drawn from language experience, literature andmedia
• opportunities to select vocabulary according to demands of activity
• use of proof-reading, checking and editing, sharing with peers
• encouragement to pupils to reflect upon their understanding of the writing process
