English worksheets
We thought it would be useful to compile our
suggestions and ideas on ways to inspire your children to
enjoy 'writing' in various forms. The page starts with Emergent
writing and moves on to more advanced planning up to writing
about Shakespeare. Most of the early writing skills will
progress from colouring to pencil skills then to pen. Children
should use computer skills to enhance their work at all stages.
The worksheets illustrated
on this page are to show you some examples of the wide
range of English advice and guidance available to members

| Emergent writing All these pages arise from adults and children
talking about a story or nursery rhymes. Children together
with the adult increase their vocabulary, imagination and writing
skills by creating a different story on a theme. |

It may be necessary to spend some time to discuss ideas before
starting work at all! This is fun and the children feel very
proud of the outcomes. |

passages should extend children's thought processes, increase
their reading abilities and ensure that they have a good
grasp, understanding and knowledge of English. 'Help your
child with comprehension' is written to give parents suggestions,
explanations and information as to how children will be expected
to work in school. I hope this is helpful to you |

and therefore find factual writing easier than creative. It
is necessary to be able to do both so we have included some
examples below.
