“A must for any teacher and those with a passion for teaching writing. It qualifies the importance of talk to help children learn to write. The greatest value of this book is that it shows you how to stage the lead up to writing. Excellent resource.”
“Clear, practical, just what you need in school. I have many of Pie Corbett's books but bought this one hoping for help with an upcoming observation. The DVD was excellent. I gained 2's across the board, what more can I say. Buy it!”
By helping children speak the language of non-fiction in a fun engaging way before they attempt to write, the Talk for Writing approach builds children's confidence and linguistic ability enabling them to craft their own writing.

-
Fully worked, tried and tested examples of how to apply Talk for Writing to each non-fiction text type
-
A wide range of fun activities helping children internalise how to express and link text effectively
-

-
Guidance for teachers in England on how to apply the approach across the primary curriculum
-
2 DVDs including new footage of Pie Corbett demonstrating Talk for Writing and new footage of classes engaged in the approach
