Information Writing (Teach Your Child to Write Good English)

Information Writing teaches children the essential skills required by the school curriculum. They will learn to write to advise, to inform, to explain and to describe. It provides a lively collection of writings, in different forms, for children to read, including formal and informal letters, reports, reviews and biographies to name a few. These will provide vital starting points to give them ideas for their own writing. More than this, the book helps young writers structure and organise their work, to use good grammar, punctuation and more interesting vocabulary. They will also learn to recognise that articles contain facts and opinions, which can be biased to a particular point of view. By working methodically through this book the students will grow in confidence and will learn to enjoy writing. Also available in the 'Teach your child good English' series are Creative Story Writing - ISBN: 9780955831508 and Learning Persuasive Writing & Argument - ISBN: 9780955831515.
