Writing and Planning Activities for Children

Home » Puzzles & Games » Writing and planning

Writing asks children to coordinate several skills at once: forming letters, spelling words, shaping ideas and keeping track of what comes next. Breaking that work into manageable stages can reduce the load and help each skill become more secure.

Use this collection for early mark-making and handwriting, word and sentence practice, idea organisation or everyday planning. Adjustable resources let children work at an appropriate size, pace and level of independence.
