According to reports from the exam board Edexcel, the overwhelming majority of students who underachieve in exams requiring extended written answers do so because they do not know how to plan for an answer.

To help teachers deal with this concern Model Learning have produced “Saving Reluctant Writers”. Taken from their LearnWise study skills course for students, “Saving Reluctant Writers” is a free three step resource which reveals how you can help students to organise and sequence their ideas for easy writing.

This graphic organiser can be used across the curriculum to tackle dyslexia, planning for writing, raising boys’ levels of writing, revision skills, study skills.

Because “Saving Reluctant Writers” is completely free it can also be forwarded to colleagues so that it can be used across the school.

You can obtain “Saving Reluctant Writers” by visiting www.modellearning.com/ideas/ideas-powerpoints.aspx

You may also want to download some or all of the other 15 free powerpoints offering practical techniques for effective teaching, learning and leadership. Feedback from over 2000 subscribers shows they find the majority of them very beneficial.
