The evidence-based approach to accelerating progress in
writing
Skills for Writing is a unique digital
and print solution for Junior Secondary School students developed
in partnership with Professor Debra Myhill and her team from the
University of Exeter, UK.
- Accelerate progress in writing with this new
solution based on a proven-to-work pedagogy, improving writing
performance.
- Teach grammar in a contextualised way, always
focusing on effects achieved, so students have a wider range of
techniques with which to craft creative, effective texts. This is
not just another grammar course.
- Provide engaging and
interactive lessons - explore the Student Books on
screen and the many digital resources focused on building
grammatical knowledge and improving writing.
- Motivate your students to write independently
- encourage students to reflect on their writing and understand how
to improve with our range of auto-marked activities.

Student Book Pack (3 titles) - build skills and confidence
|
|
- Three full-colour Student Books each contain two of the six
units of work, making it easy to use different units with different
year groups.
- Learning objectives explain the grammar focus and how it
will be used to achieve a certain effect.
- Extracts from real texts demonstrate the different effects that
writers use and model how grammar choices can create these
effects.
- Each fiction unit draws on several novels and students should
be encouraged to read full texts independently or as a class
alongside the units.
- Activities give students a chance to put their learning into
practice, experimenting with creating different effects in their
writing and then reflecting on it. These help to develop the core
writing and linguistic analysis skills required.
