Creative Writing
This is the cornerstone of the Litbridge platform.
Litbridge offers Write Like an Author (WLAA) creative writing courses from Year 3 to Year 10 across three bands: Junior, Middle Grade, and Senior, plus a free four-week On Ramp programme for Year 2 students.
Across every level, students learn the essence of story through the Write Like an Author approach, which focuses on deliberate writing choices rather than formulas or templates.
Junior lessons build the foundations of story. Students learn how to shape a clear, complete piece of writing, and how small choices on the page create a real response in a reader.
- Story scaffolds
- Developing characters
- Clear scenes
- Simple tension
- Finishing drafts
Middle Grade lessons deepen craft and control. Students write with more purpose, build stronger story momentum, and learn to revise so the writing lands with greater clarity and impact.
- Stronger structure
- Raising stakes
- Sustained tension
- Scene control
- Purposeful revision
Senior lessons focus on intent and refinement. Students learn to control voice, pacing, and tension, and to edit with precision so their writing achieves specific effects on the reader.
- Voice control
- Deliberate pacing
- Advanced tension
- Sharper openings
- Polished editing
A gentle start for young writers. Students build confidence and clarity while learning a simple, supportive story shape that helps them complete a full piece of writing.
Students work with a clear beginning–middle–end structure, practise writing clear sentences, introduce simple characters and problems, experiment with basic description, and most importantly, learn how to finish a complete story.
What makes Litbridge lessons different
Lessons are classroom-ready and practical, with a clear focus on student output, deliberate craft choices, and writing that affects a reader.
Designed to support assessment
The skills taught in lessons match the skills you look for when you assess student writing, so teaching, drafting, feedback, and growth tracking all point in the same direction.
