What your child practises

Planning and writing in their own words – organising ideas, describing and explaining.

What’s included

• A ready-to-fill page
• Open-ended: no right or wrong answers

Age and school year

Made for ages 6–12. That’s Grade 1–7 in the US, Year 2–8 in England, Primary 1 – JSS 1 in Nigeria and Class 1–7 in India.

How to use it

• Print it at home or school – it fits a standard A4 or US Letter page.
• Write on it on a tablet or touchscreen with a finger or stylus – no printer needed.

Tips for parents and teachers

1. 1Display finished work on the fridge or a class wall; an audience gives writing a real purpose.
2. 2Check grip and posture before starting – a relaxed pencil grip and feet flat on the floor help neat writing.
3. 3Ask your child to teach you one thing from the sheet; explaining is a great test of understanding.
