PM Writing – why dual levels?

The PM Writing Levelled Exemplar Texts have been dual levelled to:

• give the authors more flexibility to use sentence structures that flow in natural language

• ensure that the meticulous grading of the PM Story Books remains as constant as possible

• allow the authors to present to young readers text type exemplars that include correct language features, thereby enabling them to use the books as models for their own writing.
