E-Books →On the Write Track A Practical Guide to Teaching Writing in Primary Schools

While every child, every teacher and every classroom are different, approaches to teaching writing can sometimes feel prescriptive, whether they are based on a particular curriculum model, commercial scheme, assessment system or underlying philosophy.
This book provides freedom and choice by introducing a series of 'tracks' for writing teaching, including practical approaches to
Building a community of writers in the classroom
Employing a process-led sequence for teaching writing
Encouraging children to write for pleasure and share their own interests
Exploring the use of rich and diverse texts as fuel for writing
Drawing on spoken language and oracy to develop written communication
Teaching grammar and punctuation to support writing
Utilising feedback to help children develop their writing voice
Using drama and play as starting points for writing
Through considering these different tracks and thinking about how to weave them together into a coherent whole, teachers can help every child to make the journey to being a confident, skilled, keen writer.
