Writing
Learning to write is one of the most important things that your child will do at primary school. Almost all other areas of the curriculum are assessed through writing so strong writing is one of the keys to academic success. Good writing also gives your child a voice to share their ideas with the world.
Writing at Lingdale Primary School
Through our teaching and learning, pupils develop the skills to become creative, fluent writers with the ability to write clearly and coherently for a range of purposes and audiences.
We aim for all children to…
- Develop a love of writing and have pride in their written accomplishments
- Know how to plan, revise and evaluate their writing effectively
- Understand that in order for them to develop as fluent writers, it is essential that they develop competency in phonics, word/spelling structure and handwriting enabling effective transcription.
- Embed basic skills in order to widen their knowledge of vocabulary and grammar. This will allow them to develop their writing so they are able to articulate, communicate and organise their ideas for the audience and purpose. (Becoming authors!).
- Talk about their successes and areas for development
- Write for pleasure rather than because they have too
- Be confident writers and show off what they can do
- Be exposed to a range of genres
- Know what genres they are writing, what the purpose is and who the audience is
