Upper Primary English Creative Phrases Handbook

Description

This Creative Phrases Handbook is specially crafted for Upper Primary students, with the aim of
helping young writers develop the language skills necessary to craft expressive, high-quality
compositions.

It supports learners in their journey toward scoring AL1 by offering a rich collection of:
• Vivid verbs and descriptive phrases
• Similes and metaphors
• Idioms and proverbs
• Thematic word banks and story openers

Each section is organised by themes commonly encountered in school writing tasks — such
as School Life, Emotions, Weather, Festivals, Kindness, Fear, and Unexpected Events. Students
can flip to any section and find the right words and phrases to elevate their writing and make
it stand out.

This handbook is also designed as a practical and engaging resource to support learners at
home or in the classroom. It aligns with curriculum goals and helps learners build a solid
foundation in composition writing.
