A Primary Writing Reference from Blake's Guides

Blake's Writer's Guide by Merryn Whitfield is a paperback reference that shows primary students how to plan, write and polish texts for different purposes and audiences.

Part 1 walks through the stages of the writing process, from pre-writing and drafting to editing, proofreading and publishing, and also covers the traits of good writing and the tools every author needs. Part 2 explains text types and genres, with annotated samples of imaginative, informative and argumentative texts such as fairytales, poetry, reports, procedures, reviews and letters to the editor.

Each annotated example comes with clear lists of structure and language features, so students can see how a text is built before writing their own. Tips on note-taking, researching, proofreading and adding graphics, plus a glossary of key terms with examples, make it a handy desk reference.

The guide supports writing lessons in Years 3-6 and home study across primary school. Find more educational books, writing supplies for students and teacher supplies in our education range.
