Teaching Writing: A Field Guide

Episode 111: This week on Thinking Deeply about Primary Education, I'm joined by Chris Such and Neil Almond for an in-depth exploration of teaching writing and how we can support all pupils in becoming proficient, confident writers. As part of the chat we discuss... 1. What are your guiding principles for teaching writing? 2. To what extent does primary teaching of writing match these principles? 3. What role does modelling play in the teaching if writing and what advice would you give in this area? 4. There appears to be a bit of a trend towards a greater focus on sentence construction? What are the advantages and potential pitfalls of this? ...plus much, much more. Whether you're new to the profession or an experienced senior leader, you won't want to miss this one!
