A 15-year-old pupil at a Northamptonshire school has created a set of writing cards that are helping children all over the world with their creative writing.
Crawford Johnston, a year 10 student at Oundle School, designed the cards when he was at primary school.
A Peterborough printing company helped him to turn the cards into a professional product and he has since had orders from as far afield as Australia, South Africa and Kenya.
“In my last year of primary school I devised a system that helped me focus on how to improve my creative writing skills,” Crawford told SecEd.
“Textbooks often become a bit repetitive and dull and I didn’t want to become bored and switch off. I crunched the main parts of speech and writing techniques into a card system and spent a lot of time ploughing through a dictionary too.
