The programme is really easy to administer, and after the initial setting up for students it is easy for children to get access. In my class I have two writing groups so I can easily assign a new book to each group as they finish their piece of work and move not the next. We started working on the writing programme last term by teaching the children how to write sentences using the AwS resource – The Sentence Book.  This term we have moved onto AwS Digital* and we are using the books online to support a very well scaffolded writing programme.

These kids love it. They settle quickly to their work and the level of engagement is very high – one Year 5 boy in particular has amazed me with the effort he has put into his first piece of writing this year (and to be honest probably the first real piece of writing he has done since he has been at school). The children do not need a computer each and can easily share between 2 or 3 as all writing is done in their books. A big thumbs up from me and my class.

Results from this class are in the table below.
