Story Writing Activity Book Ages 5-7 (Collins Easy Learning KS1)

Good for the kids

Good book for kids. Five star

I got this writing activity book for my seven year old and she found it helpful in prompting a story etc. It also helped in writing sentences too. It’s as easy to understand and each page had a clear set up which helped to not confuse her when writing. I do think the content is better for 6 plus. However you might find some five year olds who are more confident and are at an above age level who will find most of these exercises fine to complete.Overall I liked how it made things clear and fairly easy to understand. It definitely helped to let my daughter be creative with her sentences. A good activity book!

I got this for my 5 year old to help him with his English work. I think this book is a little advanced for his age (year 1), even with parental support.There are good prompts to get you thinking about what goes into writing a story, but I would use in conjunction with a separate notebook as the boxes for writing are quite small.I'm looking forward to using this in the coming years to help support his ideas.

We love Collins books, usually they are great. This Story Writing Activity Book is a bit too complicated for my 6 year old. She loves to write stories and also loves to read. She really didn’t like this book, and didn’t bother much about it.Definitely better for older children.

This is an excellent book to help children develop their storytelling skills. It’s aimed at 5-7 year-olds, but I think children at the lower end of this range would definitely need a lot of parental Support.The 30-page workbook is designed to be worked through section by section so that skills can be learnt, reinforced and then built upon. There’s a lot of information, examples and instructions, as well as exercises to practice acquired knowledge.Topics covered include: an introduction to understanding stories, sentence construction, and how to structure a story, as well as guidance on developing characters, settings and story ideas. It ends with sections on editing and proofreading.As I said, a lot of this sounds very advanced for 5 and 6 year-olds, especially when it comes to the written exercises. My just-turned-6 grandson has a vivid imagination and is used to making up stories, so the concepts of beginning, middle and end, were easy for him to grasp. However, consigning his thoughts In writing to the page was a real challenge, and we couldn’t help noticing that the space available was very tight for his large, childish handwriting.That said, I do believe there is lots here to benefit his storytelling over the next couple of years, and we definitely appreciated the helpful guidance notes for parents.Thanks for reading my review. I hope you found it helpful.with lots of hints and tips. Ie saying the sentence out loud to see if it sounds right. It relies on children’s prior knowledge of certain well known story’s ie Cinderella Goldilocks Humpty Dumpty 30 pages long.

I love any type of home learning book that supports the national curriculum and enables me to support my little one at home in his learning journey. This one is aimed at 5-7year olds and though I think there is some early work that could be completed at the lower end, this certainly will need some support until much older as the activities progress.Aimed to be complete in conjunction with parental support, this guide takes you through step by step and builds on knowledge and skills to complete a story from sentence construction, to character development to editing and proof reading. Each topic covered is clear with instructions/examples then questions to support learning and understanding as well as some parental tips for helping build confidence in the topic explored.I like that this home learning support is relevant and supportive to both child and parent alike and would certainly recommend the series from what I have seen so far.

Now, I picked this out for an adult who wants to write children's stories, so when I say it's better for older kids, I do mean the upper age suggested by the publisher - around 7 years.It's a little too simplistic for a thirty-seven-year-old, but I maintain, it's not a terrible place to start.
