Dorchester Middle School Handwriting • Assessed in the longer piece of writing. • The focus is on whether the handwriting is consistent, legible and fluent (joined up). • Handwriting is only a small % of the marks available (up to 3 marks available out of a maximum of 50 for the writing tests).

  10. Dorchester Middle School In school…. • Literacy is taught in smaller groups. • Regular sustained writing tasks that are based on past papers. Feedback provided to the children. • Homework tasks set to address generic issues. • After Easter, a revision course will begin that provides children with the opportunity to interpret and answer past reading and writing tasks. • Individual writing targets.

  11. Dorchester Middle School Ideas for work at home • Spellings – revise spelling rules. • Optional Easter homework tasks. • Literacy homework tasks. • Daily reading (for approx 15 minutes). Ask questions about the text, why the author chose those particular words, what they think will happen next, whether they like/dislike the text and why. • Write for a purpose and a ‘real’ audience-thank you letters, emails, messages, a journal/diary. Consider the style of the writing (formal/informal). • CGP revision books. • Online revision sites, including www.bbc.co.uk/schools/revisewise/ and www.woodlands-junior.kent.sch.uk/revision/index.html
