Improving Writing...


Part of our November INSET was some training on how to develop writing to a greater depth standard. As part of the day, our Literacy Leader shared several videos she had taken - including one of our teaching assistants engaging successfully with a small group of pupils to improve their writing above.

The key principles we are working on:

Coach culture: Using adults to discuss ideas and model what is expected.

Unpick features needed to write in that context: What skills will they need to use? What skills are already in their toolkit ready to apply? How am I moving children’s learning on?

Children write, prompted to use resources around them (word mats, sentence openers, etc.) and think about language used for effect.

Reflection: Focussed questions for pupils verbally or through reflection bubbles.
