Inspiration for literate role play provision.

‘The Young Writers’ Role Play Pack is a definite for all Early years settings and KS1 classrooms, an essential toolkit for promoting children’s mark-making that will transform your classroom into a literary cornucopia! ’
Dr. Jonathan Doherty
Education Adviser and former Head of Early Childhood Education at Leeds Metropolitan University

This sparkling new resource from Child's Eye Media was awarded a prestigious Gold Award in the 2010 Practical Preschool Awards. It includes everything you need to get boys - and girls - writing through role play.

The pack includes 8 Royal Television Society Award-winning films giving a child's eye view of the jobs done by 'people who help us’. Uniquely, each film shows adults writing as part of their work, and children emulating them in role play.

After watching the films, young children are inspired to role play their own 'people who help us' ideas - using the specially created role play sheets, as featured in the films, and wearing the authentic ‘people who help us’ outfits.

The Young Writers' Role Play Pack comprises:

8 award-winning films (on 2 dvds)
8 sets of curriculum-linked teachers' notes on 2 CDs (linked to EYFS and KS1)
30 printable role play sheets, differentiated for both mark-makers and emergent writers
8 printable 'story-talk' sheets to develop language for thinking and oral story making - great on interactive whiteboards
CD with lots of exciting new ideas to encourage writing through role play
8 bespoke all-weather role play outfits, including unique 'write-on-the-pocket' trousers

Special feature:
As well as 7 high quality ‘people who help us’ waistcoats (roomy enough to be worn over coats), the pack includes a unique pair of 'write-on-the-pocket' 'air rescue' trousers, as worn by air support officers, perfect for heroic rescue adventures!

See Air Support Sergeant John explaining to Ian how he uses his writing pockets, in the Ian and the police film - a great way to inspire your ‘air rescuers’ to ‘jot down important notes’ on their ‘helicopter missions’!’
The Pack also includes many more ideas for using the trousers.
