Despite the fact that my 8-year old is an avid reader and is very confident in other aspects of the English language, she has always strugled with creative writing. She would often get frustrated with writer's block and her sentences were usually quite simple. I bought this book as nothing else seemed to work (story starters, story maps/plans, story cubes etc). The day it arrived I asked her to use the book to write a small paragraph describing a winter's day. For the first time ever, she did not experience frustration whilst writing. The book helped her to put ideas into expressive sentences. At first she copied bits and pieces striaght out of it, but once she got a feel for how to create an interesting sentence, she started to make up her own. My reluctant writer now enjoys descriptive writing and asks to use the book regularly! I cannot believe the improvement in the quality of her writing, and especially the fact that it was instantaneous. The teacher who wrote this book is a genius. It works on the principle that you must first be shown what well-written sentences look like before you can make your own. All schools should have a copy of this book! Review: Amazing book - A wonderful resource. I am a teacher so have seen these used in a school setting, but now using it while homeschooling my child. It is so full of fantastic vocabulary and has given her the confidence to try using new and exciting vocabulary in her writing. I would highly recommend this to anyone with a primary school child. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 29,280 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 108 in Secondary Schools 169 in Primary Education (Books) 1,092 in Secondary School Textbooks | | Customer reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (1,076) | | Dimensions | 20.96 x 1.91 x 29.21 cm | | Edition | 3rd | | ISBN-10 | 1138093025 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1138093027 | | Item weight | 1.07 kg | | Language | English | | Print length | 302 pages | | Publication date | 16 Nov. 2017 | | Publisher | Routledge | | Reading age | 8 - 12 years, from customers | ## Images ![Descriptosaurus: Supporting Creative Writing for Ages 8–14 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/518Hq1LK0jL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The only book you will need for creative writing! *by M***R on 7 December 2023* I was a little reluctant to buy this book as it is a little pricey, but I have to say it was definitely worth every penny.
