Children's achievements in writing lag behind their achievements in reading, speaking and listening. National tests are beginning to expose this gap and inevitably, it is raising concerns. The issue is not without controversy but regardless of the politics of the situation, national progress in children's writing is both needed and possible.
This new book from Eve Bearne makes a valuable contribution towards helping teachers close this gap. Uniquely, it follows the structure of the National Literacy Strategy, whilst examining key areas such as bridging KS2 and KS3 writing, and writing skills beyond the Literacy Hour. Such a structure makes the book incredibly practical and easy to use, providing essential information for both practitioners and academics.

Industry Reviews

'Eve Bearne's record of well-judged and practical publications on English matter for teachers and advisers is distinguished' - Graham Frater, Independent Education Advisor; 'There is a dearth of material which examines writing in all its complexity. This fills a significant gap in the market. (The author's) ability to make her arguments accessible to her readers is well-founded.' - Teresa Grainger, Christ Church College, Canterbury; 'Teachers will welcome a book from an acknowledged authority in this field' - Maureen Lewis, University of Plymouth and Regional Director for Initial Teacher Training, on the National Literacy Strategy
