An accessible guide for primary teachers to help children who find writing challenging, packed full of activities, lesson plans and ready-to-use resources.

Many children avoid writing for a number of reasons – perhaps they find it tedious or frustrating, or perhaps they have dyslexia or dysgraphia. This structured programme of writing activities and lessons makes writing engaging and accessible for reluctant writers, by encouraging primary teachers and learners to work together to develop children’s writing skills. The book covers all aspects of primary school writing, including grammar, sentence development, punctuation, paragraph writing and planning. It also shows teachers how to develop self-sufficiency skills in writing and encourage learner independence. Each section in the book builds on previous skills learned, from word level up to creative writing skills, providing pupils with a complete range of writing tools. The ready-to-use resources for each topic - including mini lessons, discovery tools and activities - offer extensions and adaptations to suit all pupil needs, including fun ideas for multisensory learning, group interventions or to keep pupils learning outside of the classroom. For school staff working with children who find writing challenging, this practical toolkit provides a range of activities based on solid research and hands-on experience that can be incorporated straight into lessons and teaching practices.

"A useful resource which provides a wealth of experience, presenting a structured sequential framework to progress children’s writing skills with lots of fresh ideas and the know-how to implement them." - Dr Margaret Crombie, teacher and author of Dyslexia: A Practical Guide for Teachers

"Write This Way! is such a useful, practical and effective book for teachers and parents who are forever struggling to teach writing. Reid, Clark and McIntosh have taken such a difficult topic to teach and turned it into lesson plans that almost constitute an intervention programme in an easy-to-read and easy-to-follow book. Simply brilliant! I highly recommend it for parents and teachers." - Dr Gad Elbeheri, Director of the Lighthouse Centre, Egypt
