CONQUER CREATIVE WRITING WORKBOOK 1 invites children to stretch their imagination, enjoy the process of developing ideas and express themselves through creative writing.

Building the BasicsThe children will learn to use words and form sentences through Cloze, Completing sentences and Writing sentences activities.

Focussed Writing ExercisesThe writing activities cover varied themes and text types and introduce descriptive, narrative, expository and imaginative composition writing to aspiring young writers through visual aids, helping words and questions in Picture comprehension and Picture description activities.

Developing Writing Skill SetsThrough activities such as Rearranging sentences in the correct order, Creative response and Creative writing exercises, children learn to differentiate and organise ideas using methods of classification, comparison and contrast, and cause and effect.

Suggested AnswersThese provide more writing ideas so children can learn to relate to other situations and analyse possible outcomes in order to think and write even more creatively.

• Completing a given passage with their own ideas will help children to better organise their stories and provide them with a framework that they can use when writing their own stories.

• Referring to vocabulary lists will boost the children’s vocabulary when writing about the park, the zoo and the beach, helping them to write more interesting stories.

• Reading model compositions help children develop new ideas and strengthen their writing ability.
