| Publisher Description: Help your child to achieve the 'magic score' which will help them in being allocated a place at their chosen selective school In today's increasingly competitive society, preparation for the 11+ has been increasingly tough, whichever education authority area you live in. One aspect of 11+ preparation that many children struggle with is the writing task - but this is appearing more and more in the papers. Essex (CSSE) introduced it 3 years ago; currently emphasising the importance of descriptive writing and Instructional Writing; however, there is no guarantee that they will stick to this. Other areas ask for different genres of writing; but there is one thing that they all have in common - the writing is a short writing task, taking no more than 20 minutes to complete. This handy book, produced by an experienced teacher and 11+ tutor who has been teaching Year 5 & 6 children in Essex for a number of years, contains lessons, guidance and instructions for a range of key genres of writing; including: Descriptive writing Instructions, Conversations Playscripts Postcards Diary Entries Invitations And a variety of persuasive writing There is also a useful section explaining many of the rules of punctuation. Towards the back of the book, you will also find a section of additional activities and games to help you to prepare your child for the 11+ exam - all sections taken from other e-books by this author. |
