The Creative Writing series provides a complete and comprehensive course in creative writing. It prepares children for 11+, 12+ and 13+ state grammar entrance, Common Entrance and scholarship examinations for independent schools. This series of books is designed to be used in sequence from Workbook 1 onwards. A child should work through the exercises in each section and then apply the principles and techniques they have learnt in a draft of their own story. By the end of the course, children will have produced two drafts for each of their six original stories. A Progress Chart and Certificate of Achievement are included at the end of the book. All our materials have been rigorously classroom tested. The methodologies have been successfully used in AE Tuition classes for over 30 years.
