Creative Writing_Planning Skills_Level Two_Structured Plan E

Two plans which encourage a holistic approach - writing is not required

This exercise is suitable for children aged 8 through to adults. A similar form of Structured Plan which is suitable for younger children aged 4 to 7 years is listed under Level One of Creative Writing Planning Skills. This is a fun exercise which

you can do as often as required. Choose from two different diagrams which each help the dyslexic or dyspraxic to plan a story in a holistic rather than linear style. The image-based approach also particularly suits dyslexics and dyspraxics. Again this exercise encourages original and creative thinking. It can help to break down barriers towards writing, and is a therapeutic exercise to use with the dyslexic or dyspraxic who is nervous of writing, lacking self-confidence and self-esteem

or who feels frustrated at not being able to express his or her thoughts on paper.

This exercise can be practised in any language.
