Writing
Premier League Magazine Team supports pupils to create their own magazine, building on the key components of writing success: audience and purpose. This is a 10-session programme created to increase motivation and engagement, improve attitudes to writing, and to support pupils’ writing confidence and skills. Some groups will benefit from additional sessions. It is aimed at pupils who are underachieving in writing but who are motivated by a passion. The resources in this pack are suitable for KS2 pupils (particularly Upper KS2).
The programme focusses on four key article types and provides strong scaffolding and support to guide pupils. Supported by physical resources as well as digital/online editable worksheets, you will find everything that you need to build your very own press team and help them to create their magazine right here!
Sign up to the programme here. We have 1,000 PLMT challenge poster and sticker packs to give away to schools who sign up.
Developed in partnership with the National Literacy Trust and with teachers and magazine professionals from BBC Match Of the Day magazine, Girl Talk and MEGA magazines to ensure it really works in schools AND has the kudos to engage your pupils, it supports the delivery of the statutory requirements for the English Programme of Study in the English and Welsh curricula. It is an ideal sister programme to Premier League Reading Stars, and can be used with the same pupils.
