The Foundational Skills of Writing Workbook - Book 1

Building skills with spelling, handwriting and writing in sentences - Set of 6 workbooks

This title will be available to ship from mid May 2025, pre order your copy today.

The Foundational Skills of Writing Workbook - Book 1 is written by highly regarded author and educator Dr Helen Walls (The Writing Teacher).

This workbook is for students who still struggle with spelling, handwriting and/or sentence writing in the middle to senior primary and lower secondary years. Grounded in an evidence-based intervention programme, it complements the teaching handbook, How to Teach the Foundational Skills of Writing, and is designed to build students’ writing skills with the support of a teacher, teacher aide or family member.

Writing tasks draw on age-appropriate content to engage students with sophisticated concepts and vocabulary knowledge, with the result that they feel excited about writing down their ideas and begin to believe in themselves as writers again.

The Foundational Skills of Writing Workbook – Book 1 is available in a pack of six for $99.95. Larger quantities can be purchased at a discounted price – reach out to our team to arrange this.
