LOVE LOVE LOVE! I cant wait to put this to use! I can already see the wall charts that this will create, pages and pages of great mentor sentences that students can study and imitate before finding their own voice. A MUST HAVE for creative writing teachers, though this works great for non-ficiton work where the student needs decription :) must by more copies for the department!

My Year 4 placement class have found this book really useful for supporting their independent writing. I also found it extremely helpful in making my English teaching resources for fiction narratives (in modelling sentences, providing word banks, etc.). A must for any teacher/classroom.

A book that is going to be with me for a long time - 5*
WOW. I keep thinking if I had this book in September... Ah well. Hindsight is a good thing.
I was recommended this from my 1:1 zoom meeting with a T4W consultant.
