Activity Books

This engaging book is full of activities designed to get children experimenting with words and writing creatively. Each activity introduces and reinforces a specific type of writing in a fun, accessible way and young writers are given the opportunity to practise writing stories, recipes, descriptions of their friends, plays, poems and more. All activities reinforce English teaching in schools. There is a practice page and 'secret' notes for grown-ups in a gatefold at the back of the book. Comes with a special wipe-clean pen which is very satisfying to write with, and easy to wipe off the shiny pages offering young writers free rein to draft and redraft their writing. Part of the hugely successful Usborne Wipe-clean series, the Key Skills titles teach children the basics of a variety of Maths, English and Science topics.
