About the Book
What if children could learn to write confidently by understanding how writing actually works? Writing Skills in 6 Steps is a practical, activity-based English writing workbook designed for students of Classes 5–8 (ages 10–14), following the learning goals of NEP 2020 and NCF-SE 2023. Written by Neil Shankar Ray, an English educator and applied linguist, this book introduces a structured approach that helps children develop ideas, organise thoughts, write meaningful sentences, and gradually become independent writers. Instead of asking students to memorise model answers, the book teaches them to understand and practise six essential stages of writing: 1. Spark → 2. Plan → 3. Draft → 4. Revise → 5. Edit → 6. Share What Makes This Book Different? - Step-by-step learning: Children discover how to develop an idea into a complete piece of writing. - Progressive difficulty: Every writing unit includes Starter, Practice, and Challenge activities. - Practical writing skills: Guided exercises cover stories, letters, emails, notices, invitations, reports, speeches, reviews, and more. - Creative expression: Poetry workshops introduce ten different poetic forms. - Self-assessment: Child-friendly rubrics help learners identify their strengths and areas for improvement. - Language support: Hindi and Bangla helper notes make difficult concepts more accessible. The book also includes sentence-building lessons, essay-writing activities, word-play exercises, and assessments to help students practise and evaluate their progress. Who Should Read This Book? - Students who struggle to organise their ideas before writing. - Children who know grammar but find composition difficult. - Parents who want to support writing practice at home. - English teachers seeking structured classroom activities. - Young writers who want to improve their creativity, clarity, and confidence. Writing is not simply about putting words on paper. It is about learning to think, organise, express, and communicate. Writing Skills in 6 Steps helps children develop these abilities, one step at a time.
