About us
Everybody Writes is an approach to writing, making it enjoyable and relevant for young people. It is also a resource that offers classroom teachers and education professionals innovative ideas and practical resources to get primary pupils and secondary students excited about writing.
The four key principles of Everybody Writes are:
- Taking writing beyond the classroom
- Giving children authentic events to write about
- Finding real audiences for children's writing
- Exploring writing across the curriculum
An Everybody Writes project could involve staging an alien spaceship crash landing in the playground to trigger a whole school newspaper writing project; running a series of after school workshops for parents and their children to write and illustrate a family history, or working with a graphic designer and the Local Authority to create leaflets promoting recycling to teenagers.
Everybody Writes is a project run in partnership by Booktrust and the National Literacy Trust and funded by the Department for Children, Schools and Families (DCSF).
