Descriptosaurus Story Writing by Alison Wilcox
This book provides a resource for younger pupils that expand their descriptive vocabulary and provide them with models that demonstrate language in action, in a genre that is familiar to children ages 5-9.Alison Wilcox is a Law and Economics graduate from Cardiff University, who worked as a primary-school teacher for many years. Whilst teaching, she developed Descriptosaurus to scaffold and improve children’s creative writing, with dramatic results, and she made the decision to give up full-time teaching to work on the Descriptosaurus series. To keep up to date with current practices in schools, Alison undertakes brief teaching assignments, works with schools to develop new resources and conducts workshops for schools and teaching alliances.
