Developed around a long-term goal of students becoming motivated and independent writers who are able to communicate confidently, proficiently and with impact according to the purpose for writing and the intended audience – is based on a belief that teachers can make a difference for all students, regardless of their level of ability.

By purchasing this membership licence, schools / teachers and literacy leaders will have full access to our video resources and accompanying downloadable notes in order to ‘build excitement, engagement & achievement in writing‘.

All of the above resources can be used at the school-wide level, team/whanau level, or individual teacher level, according to what licence you have purchased.

They can be used for purposes of professional learning, development and/or inquiry (probably led by a school or literacy leader) or just to motivate and engage school leaders, teachers and students.

How Does Membership Work?

  • NOTE: The membership system will be closing down on 31st August 2026. See our recent announcement.

They are responsible for the Membership Subscription within their school or team and will occupy one seat from the license. We recommend that person be a staff member that will use the resource (e.g. probably not office staff).

Murray and student
Working With Under-Achieving Writers

This brand new eBook (written by Dr Murray Gadd) was released on 31st January 2020.

SEE INSIDE ~ READ EXTRACT BELOW  – You can also download the sample PDF (8 pages)

This is an 82-page peer-reviewed eBook resource entitled Under-achievement Is Not Inevitable: Working Effectively With Struggling And Reluctant Writers.

It’s written as a reflection and discussion document for school / literacy leaders & teachers and considers different ways of working effectively with students (particularly Years 4-10) who are not always engaged in writing and/or who struggle as developing writers. 

The Main Questions It Poses Are

  • Why do some students (particularly boys and students from minority ethnic groups) under-achieve as developing writers?
  • What are some key actions that teachers can undertake to help raise student engagement, progress and achievement levels in writing?

Who’s This For?

This resource was developed for two main audiences:

  1. For school/literacy leaders who could use the resource to lead professional inquiry and learning amongst their teachers.  To this end, I have written a reading and discussion guide at the beginning and end of all sections. These often include actions for teachers to trial.
  2. For teachers who might want to use the resource to lead their own inquiry around the key questions posed in the resource.  They could use the reading and discussion guide and trial some of the suggested actions as individual teachers.

How Can It Assist Literacy Leaders & Teachers?

The key actions are contextualised in real classroom situations and cover issues related to strategic use of: 

  • Teacher expectations;
  • Topic selection;
  • Instructional strategies;
  • Classroom organisation and management;
  • Classroom environment.

Have a look at some sample pages and think about how you could use it, especially if under-achievement in writing is an issue at your school.

Building Young Writers : Engaging & Motivating yr 4 – 8 Students in Writing

Murray has written this book to help you – the teachers of Year 4 to 8 students – engage and motivate your students more as writers and ultimately to lift progress and achievement by them.  As such, it is as much about teaching students of this age group how to be writers rather than just teaching them how to write.  Whatever our beliefs and approaches, the joy of literacy must be promoted in our middle and senior primary classrooms if we are to make a difference for our students.

He presents this book to the teaching community as a continuation of my work to help teachers address disengagement and under-achievement by their older primary students in writing.

“The teacher is at the heart of this book as it is about what s/he can do to make a difference for our Year 4 to 8 students.”
