The new Writing Resource Book, used in conjunction with the First Steps Writing Map of Development Second Edition, has a strong focus on supporting teachers as they implement a multi-dimensional approach to teaching writing.
The First Steps Writing Resource Book will help teachers focus on the explicit teaching of different forms of text; writing processes, strategies and conventions; and the contextual aspects associated with the act of composing texts. Teachers will find the information relevant for all phases of writing development, and will be able to apply the ideas and suggestions with all students in their classroom.
