The Excel Writer's Handbook is a comprehensive guide to improving students' writing. It contains numerous explanations and examples for the practice of structured writing and will prove valuable to the following groups of students:

  • Students in Years 5-8 requiring a comprehensive coverage of writing skills and practical activities
  • Students from a non-English speaking background who would benefit from a comprehensive course in writing skills

Each section in the book (see contents listing below) consists of introductory explanatory material, examples and activities related to each chapter topic.

The main focus of each section is on providing a sound base for developing writing skills by the study of various explanations and examples. The remainder of each chapter provides structured activities. These structured activities, graduated in complexity, provide opportunities for students to practise the many aspects of writing and construction.

Answers and explanations (where necessary) have been included for self-assessment.

This is easy to use. Broken into six test papers in the different subject fields. Great opportunity for younger students to experience NAPLAN style questioning. Answers are provided and explanations to help improve understanding for future improvement.

The revision workbook comes in handy for the exam preparations. Also the questions at the end of each topic to go through is a good revision to recall what was learnt in that topic.
