BookWrites and BookBuds: (1 year subscription)

English Teaching Sequences

BookWrites: using real texts to teach writing. Each English teaching sequence includes learning activities moving from immersion in the text to practising and independent application in writing. Firing imaginations, learning new writing techniques and bringing colour into the classroom, they incorporate a range of stimulating, hands-on activities to develop all areas of English but with a focus on grammar, vocabulary and writing.

Each BookWrites teaching sequence includes:

• Planning based on a high-quality, authentic suggested text as a model of effective and exciting writing.
• A series of adaptive learning activities directly linked to National Curriculum objectives.
• Grammar and/or vocabulary activities to teach and practise skills in order to create specific effects for the purpose and audience.
• A logical sequence from reading to writing incorporating modelled teacher practice before independent application.

What's included in the BookWrites subscription?

• *NEW* BookBuds for EYFS
• Access to over 200 teaching sequences for Y1-Y6, which are updated and added to throughout the year
• Free live online community support sessions
• Regular newsletter
• Guidance on the effective use of sequences
• Guidance on writing progression planning

BookBuds

BookBuds are our plans for Reception classes that are compatible and consistent with the BookWrites pedagogical approach to teaching writing but matched to the EYFS curriculum. They also provide the foundation for children to transition to BookWrites in Y1.

We aim to provide sufficient plans for an entire year of teaching so the resource will be added to over time.  We hope that the plans will enable YR teachers to then go on to create additional plans of their own if they wish.
