Writing

The whole school follows the Read to Write scheme for writing which is an evidence-based teaching of writing. These units have been carefully mapped out so the entire statutory curriculum for writing is covered for each year group.. Read to Write provides opportunity for high-quality teaching of writing through children’s high-quality literature (Vehicle Texts). The units of work centre on engaging, vocabulary-rich texts, with a wealth of writing opportunities.

Each class produces 12 pieces of extended writing a year following the process of immerse, analyse, plan and write. In addition to the 12 extended pieces of writing the children have numerous opportunities to do incidental writes linking to their vehicle text.  The expectation of writing in all areas from spelling, grammar, handwriting and content is high in all units of Read to Write. 

Daily Sentence Accuracy is a vital element of Read to Write and encompasses word, sentence, and punctuation from the statutory National Curriculum programme of study for writing and Vocabulary, grammar and punctuation

This daily practice also helps build fluency and stamina for writing. Example sentences are provided for teachers to model explicitly. Teachers of younger children may choose to dictate some of the sentences provided.
