I've been using Exam Ninja books for around five years to help my nine-year-old daughter with her schooling. We buy a set for each year and my daughter works her way through them, a little each day, with my assistance. These are an excellent resource for boosting a child's learning journey and supporting the school curriculum.

About the RSL Creative Writing Workbook 1 (Ages 9-13)

If your child in Years 5 to 8 (ages 9–13) needs to write with more confidence and flair—whether for 11 Plus exams, school assessments, or simply to express themselves more powerfully—the RSL Creative Writing Workbook 1 offers a refreshingly clear, step-by-step route. Instead of gimmicks or shortcuts, this workbook teaches serious writing skills through engaging examples, friendly humour, and full-colour presentation that treats young people with respect. Each chapter breaks down techniques—from crafting dramatic sentences and elegant paragraphs to building moving short stories—so your child learns exactly how professional writers achieve their effects, and how to avoid common pitfalls.

Inside pages demonstrate how to review and improve creative writing using colour-coded feedback and clear guiding questions

The workbook covers three core chapters: Sandstorm (powerful descriptions), The Five Senses (creating vivid word-images), and On The Mountain (writing a complete short story). Important grammar skills are woven in naturally, and the lively, detailed examples show both excellent models and instructive mistakes. Because the material is designed for late primary and early secondary pupils, it aligns perfectly with Key Stage 2 and Key Stage 3 English requirements, making it ideal preparation for 11 Plus and 13 Plus writing exams as well as everyday school work. Your child will also become a more intelligent reader, learning to notice and appreciate the craft behind great writing.

Sample workbook pages explaining similes, punctuation and sentence structure with illustrated examples
Clear explanations of grammar and literary techniques, including apostrophes, similes and punctuation, supported by colourful illustrations and real examples

The result is a calmer, more confident writer who understands why certain words, images and structures work—and who takes genuine pride in their own creative voice. Written with energy and attention to detail, this resource helps pupils discover enjoyment in writing rather than viewing it as a chore. The workbook is a physical product shipped to your door, and by purchasing it you also support RSL Education's mission to provide free resources to families in financial need. Suitable for home practice, tutoring sessions, or supplementing school English lessons across Years 5, 6, 7 and 8.

This single workbook is perfect for any pupil in late primary or early secondary school who wants to write more beautifully and powerfully, whether they are preparing for selective exams or simply aiming to shine in classroom assessments. The clear progression of skills, respectful tone, and abundance of worked examples make it equally valuable for confident writers looking to refine their craft and for those who need patient, structured guidance to unlock their creative potential.

  • Three focused chapters covering powerful descriptions, sensory word-images and complete short-story writing
  • Full-colour presentation with engaging examples, friendly humour and step-by-step techniques
  • Aligned with Key Stage 2 and Key Stage 3 English, ideal for 11 Plus and 13 Plus exam preparation
  • Develops grammar skills naturally while building creativity, confidence and pride in writing
  • Suitable for Years 5, 6, 7 and 8 (ages 9–13), with content that respects young people's intelligence and potential
