Implementation 

Writing

  • Well planned learning journeys rooting in engaging texts and stimuli with clear consideration of audience and purpose for writing.
  • 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
  • Grammar fluency opportunities embedded into the class timetable

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 four 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. 

 

 

Handwriting

  • Handwriting is taught in discrete lessons with the support of PenPals throughout school. PenPals offers clear progression through five developmental stages: physical preparation for handwriting; securing correct letter formation; beginning to join along, securing the joins and practising speed, fluency and developing a personal style.
  • Opportunities for consolidation of handwriting is encouraged throughout the wider curriculum with handwriting expectations agreed and constant.
