Critics Review
“I’ve loved every version of Descriptosaurus, and this Story Writing edition is no exception. It breaks story writing into clear, child-friendly steps, packed with rich vocabulary, sentence models and ready-to-lift examples. Perfect for KS1 and lower KS2, it supports planning, modelling and scaffolding without killing creativity. A genuine time-saving saviour for busy teachers and a resource pupils actually love to use.”
Andrew Jennings, author of Vocabulary Ninja.
