This online course will help you to plan and teach effective writing sessions that will support your children to achieve the ‘Expected’ standard at the end of KS2 – and help them to be ready for KS3.

We will help you to:

• Select strategies and resources to overcome barriers e.g. lack of ‘staying power’, engagement and motivation, gaps in learning
• Teach the key skills in vocabulary, grammar and punctuation needed to meet the ‘expected’ standard
• Develop children’s transcription skills – identify and overcome barriers to success in spelling and handwriting
• Develop children’s composition skills and develop their skills in proof reading, editing and improving
• Plan and teach exciting and motivating ‘extended units’ designed to give opportunities to develop skills as well as providing a range of independent writing evidence covering fiction and non-fiction
• Motivate even the most reluctant writers, through the use of invented/real audiences and purposes, quality texts, film and ‘real-life’ experiences
• Develop an effective plan to collect writing evidence for internal/external moderation.

Suitable audience: Teachers in Year 6. This course is particularly suited to ECTs, teachers new to Year 6 and teachers looking for inspiration and new ideas for teaching Expected skills at the end of KS2.
