About this teaching resource

Writing Innovations: ‘The art of exploring a writer’s style, patterns and language to inspire your own version.’ (From my Caboodle Box of thoughts!)

We have so much to learn from authors by looking at the way they write, and ‘stealing’ from them. Young writers learn so much about the writing process, and about being wildly successful and amazing as writers by exploring a writer’s style, patterns and language to inspire their own version. This is writing like a writer, and we all love that feeling.

We’ve pulled together a growing collection of Writing Innovations texts that can inspire readers to write like writers!

Once we start reading like writers, we find many examples of texts that can be explored in this way.

You’ll notice that these resources guide you through the processes that teach students how to read like writers. It starts with:

Immersion
Charting the features
Shared writing
Partner/Independent Writing
Sharing
Publishing

Innovating on texts opens writers to a whole new world of the ways we can write. There’s really no one better to learn from, than from writers themselves who have spent a writing life in exploration, and ‘stealing’ from other writers!
