Independent Writer
Effective, Easy to Use, Free Teaching Rource. Enabling Students to write independently at their level
Introduction
"Parkside Complex Needs School has, for many years, used the Independent Writer materials to support the learning of students across the school. They have enabled our young people to access areas of the curriculum that they would have otherwise found almost impossible, this not only built their confidence, but also their grades."

Independent Writer
is
a new, easy to use system that gives students the spelling reference
tools they need for their writing assignments—leaving staff
free to give their valuable time to assist other
pupils.
It includes 3 sets of reference cards and a further reference booklet that list essential
words based on the National Literacy Strategy, plus a wide range
of additional words that students commonly use in their writing.
Originally developed for pupils with learning
difficulties, Independent Writer has since helped
students with a wide range of abilities to gain
confidence and improve their writing skills.
In addition Independent Writer is a powerful tool to both reinforce and develop the reading of basic, fundamental sight vocabulary.
Independent Writer can be used in the following contexts:
- Primary Schools from Foundation upwards
-
Secondary Schools - Pupils with a spelling age of up
to and including 11 years
- Special Educational Needs
- TEFL
- Adult Literacy
- Parents at home
