PM Writing is a complete learning, teaching and assessment package that places an emphasis on the development of the writing process in the early years of primary school. This new program provides explicit and systematic instruction in writing, incorporating shared, guided and independent writing.

All PM Writing components provide explicit links to speaking and listening as well as reading and writing, by raising students’ awareness of the different ways that language is used in their everyday lives and across the curriculum.

PM Writing also links to PM Library, PM Plus, PM Gems, PM Photo Stories and PM Science Facts books. The PM Writing Teachers’ Resource Books refer to previously published PMs, providing teachers with the opportunity to use other PM books as writing resources as well as reading resources.
