33 Ways to Help with Writing: Supporting Children who Strugg
Thirty-Three Ways to Help with Writing equips teachers and teaching assistants with
a wide range of practical resources to help children who are having difficulties
learning the basic skills of writing.
Offering a range of activities and games to engage children and encourage motivation
in the classroom, this essential classroom companion provides ready-to-use material
that doesn.t need lengthy forward preparation.
These practical and fun ideas incorporate a variety of learning styles, using
kinaesthetic and auditory techniques, which put the emphasis on .games. rather than
.work.. The activities are especially suitable for teaching assistants working with
individuals or small groups. Thirty-Three Ways to Help with Writing works step-by-
step through practical activities which:
* keep children motivated and enjoying learning
* do not require extensive knowledge or experience from the adult
* are adult-led so children don't have the opportunity to repeat mistakes
* are grouped into different basic skills, so teachers can choose the activity best
suited for the child.s needs
* have clear, concise and pedagogically sound reasons for the activity
* include extension activity where appropriate to challenge pupils.
The Routledge Thirty-Three Ways series of practical .how-to. books is for primary
teachers, teaching assistants and SENCOs who are in need of fresh ideas to teach
pupils who are struggling with basic skills. Although aimed mainly at primary age
pupils, secondary teachers will also find this book invaluable to use with pupils
who are falling behind. The series facilitates good inclusive provision and is
a resource from which useful ideas and materials can be taken without having to
plough through chapters of theory and research.
