"If a child can't say it, a child can't write it." Big Writing is a teaching methodology in which pupils learn and develop the ideas, vocabulary and higher level grammatical structures needed to improve their writing almost entirely through talk.

Raising Writing Standards:A powerful and effective whole-school approach is drawn from the highly successful book, Strategies for Immediate Impact on Writing Standards (2003). It is designed to give an overview of the Big Writing approach and to provide practical tips and lesson ideas for teachers to use, adapt and extend according to their personal teaching style and the
needs of their pupils.

Includes a CD-ROM providing useful school policy documents, support for assessment and planning, further case studies and six short professional development videos featuring Ros Wilson

Professional development courses to help schools understand and deliver Big Writing are available through Andrell Education Ltd - www.andrelleducation.co.uk
