Description
‘The Story Maker’s Chest’ is an award-winning, bestselling discovery box for teaching creative writing at KS2 and KS3.
Here’s what just a few fans have to say:
“The real treasure trove in this chest lies in the Teacher’s Guide – a cornucopia of tried and trusted ideas that work in any classroom.” Kevin Harcome, TES Review
“Children get a lot of pleasure out of having something tactile and something tangible to feel, it’s a sensory experience for them… it gives you unlimited creativity.“ Adrienne Jones, Educational Consultant
“There’s a lot to offer in the Chest, and particularly the way in which Pie Corbett opens out how the writing process takes place. It really did catch my imagination, and I think if you can capture an adult’s imagination, that’s going to come across with the children that they’re teaching.” Helen Wolstonecraft, Primary English Specialist
