Guest Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Looking for a suitable dinosaur story book that we could use for our talk for writing. Any suggestions please? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RosieC Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Hi, We just did exactly this! We used 'Bumpus Jumpus Dinosaurumpus' by Tony Mitton. We are very new to Talk for Writing, so I scanned it in and we just used the first few dinosaurs. It worked quite well with my class that have been doing it for a bit longer but the other classes that were completely new to it found it a bit tricky so we've gone back to basics with Little Rabbit Foo Foo, Little Red Hen etc, but I would definately use this one again in the future with children that are a little more confident with talk for writing.

SueFinanceManager Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I love Harry and the Bucketful of dinosaurs by Ian Whybrow as a story re dinosaurs but not having done 'Talk for writing' not sure if it would be suitable If it were I noticed he has extended the stories, Harry and the Dinosaurs at the Museum,Harry and the Dinosaurs Go to SchoolHarry and the Dinosaurs have a Happy Birthday So scope for further writing opportunities Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Which book did you end up using, Gretna? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 I couldn't find a suitable dinosaur story this time all the books I looked at were too complicated for talk4writing. So we made up our own simple story about a dinosaur using the boxing clever sequence. Children are really good at retelling this one as they created it as a class!!
