  1. Learning to Write

  2. Writing is hard. Many things are involved in writing. You have to… • Have an idea • Think of words to express that idea • Know how to write remembering direction, spaces, letter formation, punctuation etc. • Still remember your idea! Last year we started using a different and effective way of teaching writing at Woodmancote.

  3. Talk For Writing

  4. Imitation - Familiarisation • learning of a story really well off by heart using story language like ‘Once upon a time’ • We use maps/mountains, actions. • Getting into the story – book talk, drama, model making, art, etc. • Very repetitive. Record the story say it to each other • Underpinned by phonics, sentence work and hand writing teaching in letters and sounds

  5. Examples

  6. INNOVATION – adapting the well-known text. • Change small parts of the well known stories e.g. Charlie and the Cherries becomes Thea and the Apples • Act out again and draw their own story maps • Re learn as a class a new version (show video) • Write parts of the story then later in Reception the whole story hugging very closely to the original

  7. Later on in the school INVENTION – creating your own new text • Same text type and focus, e.g. non-chronological report/traditional story • Draw a new map/toolkit for new piece. • Independent writingand teacher feedback

  8. A child’s writing journey in Reception! Writing has to say something. The point of writing is that it conveys a meaning. Might be letters or squiggles but needs to look different to drawing a picture

  9. Drawing her own story map. Simple shows the main parts. Innovation stage as she’s changed from 3 bears to 3 pigs. Can see some sounding out so lots of phonics learning has gone on Formation being looked at and the right direction for letters shown

  10. Writing about our trip Very much looks like writing now, clear letters being used. Sounding out and having a go at spelling Learnt key words ‘I’ and ‘the’

  11. Writing for other purposes Good use of phonics now using chck Formation of letters good

  12. Story mountain for Jack and the Beanstalk in January

  13. Story map for Farmer Duck in May

  14. WOW!

  15. Handwriting • How to hold a pencil • How to go around a letter – movement not neatness • Our agreed style of letters • Leaving spaces • Using lines correctly

  16. Writing all the time. Children have many opportunities to write on their own in school: • At the class writing table • On the whiteboards • In the home corner

  17. At forest school

  18. On the art table

  19. What should their writing look like at the moment?

  20. Help at home • Let your child see you writing! Lists, postcards, notes etc. • Go over Jolly Phonics sounds and actions • Praise your child when they have a go at writing- ask what it says • Practise the Talk for Writing stories and actions. • Enjoy seeing the progress!
