Outstanding timesaver and everything you need!
Never heard of these until I attended a recent literacy course. Blown away with its content... will be so helpful when teaching English. All perfectly categorised and easy to find; guidance on how to use and ideas of games too - all to promote new and innovative vocabulary to children. Many of the words, some children might never hear. Whereas now they are right in front of them, they have a chance at discussing them in contexts, experimenting with in sentences and developing as an ‘oracy’ mogul!

A nice reference book, good for tutors.
This is a very goood reference book, and quite useful to the teachers. Not sure if the children can use on their own, unless they are well trained to use reference books. A bit pricey but the binding quality is good. Not exactly what I'd expected, but not too bad either. So not sure what rating to give, but I guess would be well-used in the secondary school years.

Worth the price
I would say that this is an expensive resource for a teacher - especially as you have to buy most things yourself. But from having a brief glance at it, I believe that it will be very useful and will help dramatically improve sentence structure and vocabulary just by exposing them to alternatives. It's almost like a thesaurus but the layout will be of huge help to my year 4 children

Good for kids creative writing
Daughters teacher recommended it, great for creative writing and good for children nowadays who not only have to write a good story but know the rules regarding writing ie pronouns, adverbs, etc etc and the fact that they seem to have to use these in their writing

Fabulous resource!
What an excellent way to encourage your child to enjoy creative writing more. It helps gently nurture talent and creativity with loads of helpful vocabulary and sentence structures. Well worth the money and wish I’d have known about this sooner!
