Writing Prompts is a high-interest, 3-box series that provides supplementary materials to support the classroom writing programme. These high-interest cards encourage children to express their creativity while learning how to write using a variety of styles.

Each box contains 200 writing cards, divided into 3 categories:

Imaginative - Narrative, Poetry

Informative - Procedure, Recount, Report, Narrative

Persuasive - Exposition

The cards can be used for independent work,

whole-class discussions, small group work and most cards contain questions that will generate classroom discussions.

Great resource for teaching the composition dimension of the programmes of study for writing

Pupils may be assigned specific cards to work on independently or they may choose topics that interest them

Learning Outcomes:

Aims

•Acquire a wide vocabulary, an understanding of grammar and knowledge of linguistic conventions for reading, writing and spoken language

•Write clearly, accurately and coherently, adapting their language and style in and for a range of contexts, purposes and audiences

•Use discussion in order to learn

Writing

•Effective composition involves forming, articulating and communicating ideas, and then organising them coherently for a reader. This requires clarity, awareness of the audience, purpose and context, and an increasingly wide knowledge of vocabulary and grammar.
