It provides children with a comprehensive resource to help them expand their descriptive vocabulary, experiment with language and sentence structure, and build up narratives based around the following areas:

  • Settings – landscapes, settlements and atmosphere
  • Characters – appearance, emotions and personality
  • Creatures – appearance, abilities and habitats

We are so excited about the launch of our 2nd edition of Descriptosaurus that we would like all schools to get pupils involved in our forthcoming National Schools Descriptive Writing Competition.

I can only wonder at the difference it might have made to her life outcomes had educators back then had such a resource available to them.’

Is it about understanding the personal changes the children are going through? Is it a step by step plan?

This article focuses on the traditionally stressful periods of transition on a young person’s journey from nursery to secondary. It highlights philosophies and techniques of key authors currently working, researching and writing within the field and suggests further reading for transition success.
