Descriptosaurus is a brilliant creative writing resource which will definitely expand children's descriptive vocabulary. The activities outlined enable the children to experiment with language and sentence structure and build up narratives based around the following three areas: Settings (landscapes, settlements, atmospheres), Characters (appearance, emotions and personality), Creatures (appearance, abilities and habitats).
The book has been created as a result of feedback from children about the resources they required to inspire and assist them with their writing. The interactive whiteboard-compatible CD-Rom contains all of the main elements of the book as well as planning sheets to help the children organise and structure their descriptions and useful exercises on adverbs and connectives. I personally think that this book is brilliant for reluctant writers or those faced with “blank page syndrome".
