I am a big fan of the Vocabulary Ninja and have seen great results having introduced the Word of the Day into my classroom. So it was with much excitement that I opened up a copy of Write Like A Ninja last week.
As you might imagine, it it full of useful lists and tips that will help children to develop their writing skills and is divided into clear sections: grammar essentials, exciting sentences, awesome alternatives, setting vocabulary, character vocabulary, general vocabulary and a final section where children can note down their own words and phrases.
Every page is presented in an aesthetically pleasing way that will appeal to children, and definitions and examples are included as well as lists that are easy for children to use whilst they are writing. My particular favourite is the setting vocabulary section where you can find adjectives, nouns and verbs that will inspire children to write about range of places, with a tips page at the beginning of the section.
This is definitely a book that will be useful in the classroom and I can't wait to get back after Easter to see how the children will use this.
