WAGOLL = what a good one looks like 📝
Children love to look at other children’s work, they connect with the writer because they know it’s someone real and even better, someone of their own age. The writing bank is a collection of hundreds of thousands of children's writing examples that have been published on Pobble from around the world. They are all searchable by age, topic and genre. After finding one you like simply save it for later to use in a lesson. Show your pupils what good writing looks like and open their minds to what's possible!
