Toitoi - giving writers (& illustrators) a real purpose

Have you seen this excellent NZ resource? It contains a wide range of writing by NZ kids - from 5 years and up. There are also teacher support materials. They are also on Facebook at this link. If you sign up for their quarterly newsletter you get a free copy of the first issue.

This links really well with some reading I have been doing about giving children a variety of audiences and real purpose for their writing by Mem Fox. I highly recommend 

this book for making you think and re-inspiring you at the end of a stressful term.

And this will be my next!
