A Terrible, Horrible No Good, Very Bad Day

One of the earliest books I remember being read to me at Paroa School was Judith Voirst's Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible No Good, Very Bad Day. 

We have had a go at writing our own. When we looked at the Literacy of the book we decided that these were the things we needed to do to sound like Judith Viorst.


  • Very long sentences
  • A short sentence that gets repeated
  • Repetition
  • Not much description (but LOTS of events!)
  • Personal past tense
Our Examples
