Independent News Writing Toolkit
Take the “How do you spell…?” out of writing with this colourful, visual support pack designed to help children write with greater confidence and independence.
This 61-page resource combines a large classroom word wall with clear, child-friendly images, covering the vocabulary children are most likely to need when talking and writing about their own lives, including family, food, places, celebrations, sport, feelings, weather, time words, common actions and tricky everyday spellings. It also includes familiar Irish vocabulary such as Gaelic, hurling, camogie, Communion, Confirmation and the 32 counties, making it especially relevant for Irish classrooms.
It goes beyond a traditional word wall too. Children are supported through the whole news-writing process with a ‘How to Write My News’ guide, visual planning prompts, a simple writing checklist and useful sentence starters such as At the weekend…, I went to…, My favourite part was…, Yesterday… and After that…. Word Wall - Handwriting Word Wall - Handwriting
Also included are two A4 visual word mats, organised into easy-to-find categories including Time, People, What?, Places, Food, Feelings, Celebrations, Sports, Weather and Extra Words. Ideal for laminating, keeping on desks or adding to writing folders. Word Wall - Handwriting
Perfect for independent news writing, personal writing, early writers, EAL learners and children who benefit from visual supports.
Print the larger pages for your classroom display and keep the word mats close at hand for quick, independent spelling support.
