Product Description

"This is a tremendously rich and exciting book. It is reassuring, in these days when simple views of literacy and its teaching are the only approaches to win official approval, that authors such as Pie Corbett and Julia Strong are able to outline and explore a much more subtle and complex approach."
Professor David Wray, Director of the Institute of Education, University of Warwick, UK
‘Talk for Writing’ is a proven approach to teaching creative writing that is fun, engaging and motivating for children. Now you can apply this approach to teaching non-fiction writing across the curriculum.
Talk for Writing across the Curriculum shows you how to help children speak the language of non-fiction before they attempt to write it. This is a three-step process using fun, multi-sensory activities. It helps build children’s confidence and linguistic ability to such an extent they are able to create their own writing.
This practical resource offers:
- Fully worked, tried and tested examples of how to apply ‘Talk for Writing’ to each non-fiction text type
- A wide range of fun, warm-up oral activities such as connective games, Professor Know-It-All, as well as text-based activities such as 'boxing up', creating toolkits and 'magpieing'
- Guidance for teachers on how to apply the approach across the curriculum
- DVD of Pie Corbett ‘s workshops with teachers showing ‘Talk for Writing’ in action
- Video footage of classes engaged in the ‘Talk for Writing’ approach
- Advice on how to use the DVD and handouts to train all staff in the approach
- Evidence of impact

I'm an NQT and have really struggled with teaching information texts to year 2 in a consistantly engaging way. It's too late for this unit but I'm really looking forward to the next non-fiction unit as this book gives some brilliant ideas for teaching recount, instructions, information, explanation, persuasion and discussion. There is a DVD which looks like it's going to be very helpful (not had a spare minute to actually watch it, yet). I'm very pleased with my purchase.

An excellent book for primary teachers. Could form the basis of an INSET session or two without too much additional preparation. Good quality materials as you would expect from Pie Corbett covering a wide range of non-fiction genres.

Clear, practical just what you need in school. I have many of Pie C's books but bought this one hoping for help with an up coming observation. The DVD was excellent. I gained 2's across the board, what more can I say. Buy it!
