Implementation

Implementation 

Writing

• Text-led narrative learning journeys with a clear end point, based on Jane Considine

• Well planned non-fiction units taught with purpose and audience at the forefront

   

• Writing and grammar is planned progressively with many opportunities to revisit learning through spaced practise, enabling children to know and remember more. 

• Opportunities to apply taught skills in other areas of the curriculum

Spelling

• Daily Phonics sessions throughout EYFS/KS1, following the Little Wandle Letters and Sounds programme where spelling is taught and practised. 

• Little Wandle Letters and Sounds interventions are in place for those children at risk of not keeping up.

• Spelling is taught at least times a week for 15-20 minutes throughout KS2 using the Active Spelling approach.

• Precision teaching is in place for those children who need extra spelling support in KS2. 

• Weekly spelling tests are in place to aid assessment

Handwriting

• Non-cursive handwriting is taught throughout school following our handwriting policy outlining join progression

• Handwriting is linked closely with Phonics and Spelling lessons, with teachers using discreet handwriting lessons when necessary

• Opportunities for consolidation of handwriting is encouraged throughout the wider curriculum with handwriting expectations agreed and constant.
