Talk for Writing

New review on our website: Dragon Cat by Pie Corbett, illustrated by Tom Morgan-Jones. Dragon Cat is a great children's poetry collection that keeps eyes and emotions clear and sharp, with poems about owls, uni... schoolreadinglist.co.uk/childrens-book…

A new half term, means a new @Talk4Writing plan. Children in our DSP were intrigued to see what was in our mystery red box. We captured children’s voices and made notes during our ‘Hook’ Lesson. Can you guess the story? @jane_ralphs @PieCorbett, it’s begun ☺️

Our whole school poetry day yesterday generated some fantastic poems which our pupils performed in front of the whole school during our Remembrance Service today. @Talk4Writing @FCATrust @voice21oracy

Have you seen any of these mystical creatures? Ash Class have been working hard to create information texts. We have been focusing on using questions to hook the reader, adjectives to describe features and conjunctions. Please be on the lookout! @PieCorbett @Talk4Writing

Year 4 have been editing and publishing their brilliant independent information texts! #sthwriting @Talk4Writing

Talking before writing to free cognitive space. Draw it, tell it, write it. Oral composition a potent aspect of early education still underused.

Our nursery reading area is looking Autumnal 🍁🍂

@Talk4Writing @PieCorbett Where is this document? Should it not have been shared with schools officially?

✏️Lovely video from @PennWoodSchool in Slough – one of our Training Centres. Penn Wood is a 3 form entry school. 89% of children have English as an additional language & 37% receive Pupil Premium. 91% of the children reached the expected level in writing in the SATs using TfW.

Our lovely school doing what we love the most! #TalkforWriting

Teaching children to be writers is my absolute belief. Lovely to see the importance of oral rehearsal, grammar in context, and growing self-belief in The Writing Framework - all things that lie at the heart of what we do. @Talk4Writing assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/686bf943…

@BriarHillSch @Talk4Writing @PieCorbett @BriarHillSch kindly opened up their doors to let us film their fabulous teachers and children in action. An opportunity to see @Talk4Writing in action where standards are through the roof, despite being in a challenging area.
