Writing
The Power of Reading' to teach writing
We are teaching our writing through the Power of Reading. This is a book- based approach devised by the CLPE and rooted in evidence. Each year group studies a high quality text which is the hook that inspires the children to write for different purposes as they read the book together.
Writing progression
We carefully ensure there is progression of knowledge and skills when teaching writing. You can read our progression documents below:
- Composition Writing Progression. PDF 78KB
- Vocabulary, Grammar and Punctuation Progression - PDF 148KB
to see our progression documents.
Writing
We support the children to become enthusiastic writers.
- Children are encouraged to write for a real purpose and for a range of audiences: stories, letters, poems, information, instructions etc.
- Children learn to critique their writing, learning how to edit and improve.
- We want to show children that writing for a range of purposes can be informative and wildly imaginative enough to take them beyond their own lives and experiences and travel the world to enjoy its diversity. We do this by providing a variety of language-rich high-quality hooks that prepare ALL learners, including those from disadvantaged backgrounds, to achieve their full potential in writing.
