Full of creative alternative ways of expressing and expanding composition. Clear explanations of when and how to use them. Suitable for a wide ability-range as, whereas each section is preceded by technical, grammatical information for older children, my recipient 9 yr old, reluctant reader skips these and consequently, finds the book accessible and exciting.

Great book would definitely recommend
by Becky
This book has been vital in developing the vocabulary and uplevelling the writing of the young people I teach – they have found it easy to use, engaging and appealing. It is a small book, but it is packed full of information, helpful hints and vocabulary. It is small enough to be friendly to kids, but still very useful. It is a permanent feature in our classroom, very highly recommended.

This book is fantastic. I’m an experienced teacher and I am so excited to add this resource to my classroom, supporting KS2 children with their writing. It is so user friendly and will be easily accessed and navigated by the children in my class. It is much clearer and simpler to use than other books that can be used to help descriptive writing, and for a fraction of the price! The way the information is presented in categories is really useful, and there is not so much information that the pages risk being overwhelming. I would absolutely recommend this book to support descriptive writing in the classroom. Thank you Andrew Jennings!
