Description
Descriptosaurus: Fantasy is an essential guide for children who want to take their writing to the next level. Building on the vocabulary and descriptive phrases from Descriptosaurus, this book develops the structure and use of words in fantasy to create colourful, cinematic writing. The system introduced in Descriptosaurus: Fantasy incorporates creative devices used in other genres, such as battle, sieges, magic, and mystery, to unleash children's imaginations. This contextualised approach provides an alternative to textbook grammar, helping children acquire, understand, and apply the grammar required for improved writing, both creative and technical. By using this guide, children can develop their writing skills and explore a wide range of themes and ideas, making it an ideal resource for parents, teachers, or anyone looking to support young writers.
