Book Making

We follow a 'Book Making' approach for our writing programme.  Bookmaking is a term often use to describe Writing Workshops in the Early Years of Primary Schools.

It is an internationally recognised approach to literacy, that helps children to:

• see themselves as writers

• do the big thinking of writing through their drawing and oral language

• develop critical and creative thinking

• develop oral language

• be empowered to create texts that communicate their ideas

• build strong positive dispositions towards reading and writing

• learn and use reading strategies

• understand how books work
