Cornerstones for writing year 1: Big book

Cornerstones for Writing Reception and KS1/Primary 1-3 is a resource designed to improve children's writing skills.

It provides full coverage of the NLS and National Curriculum writing objectives and follows guidance in Developing Early Writing.

Through whole class teaching and independent work it offers a clear five-step approach to writing; analysis of model texts, planning, drafting, revising and publishing.

Materials provide systematic support throughout the writing process,from emergent writing to competence in a variety of text types.

Activities cover three levels of ability. For whole class teaching the Big Book contains selected model texts from a variety of sources, planning frameworks in order to allow the modelling of planning, and illustrations to act as a stimulus for writing.

Comes complete with two acetate sheets.
