10 Picture Books to Inspire Writing

Planning English lessons for children of different ages can be overwhelming, but it doesn't have to be.

10 Picture Books to Use with the Whole Family is designed especially for home-educating families who want to teach multiple children together while reducing planning time. Instead of creating separate lessons for each child, this guide helps you use one carefully chosen picture book to inspire meaningful learning for everyone.

Inside, you'll find a range of age-appropriate writing opportunities for children aged 4–5, 6–7, 8–9 and 10–11, based around ten high-quality picture books. Every child can enjoy the same story, take part in the same discussions and then complete writing tasks that are matched to their stage of development.

From simple sentence writing and diary entries to newspaper reports, persuasive speeches and balanced arguments, the activities gradually increase in challenge while keeping the whole family connected through a shared text.
