Writing

At St Thomas' we use Ready Steady Write from Literacy Counts. 

In English pupils will have the opportunity to:

  • Develop their skills as a writer through transcription (spelling and handwriting) and composition (articulating ideas and structuring them in speech and writing)
  • Write clearly, accurately and coherently, adapting their language and style in and for a range of contexts, purposes and audiences

Pupils will be able to develop their skills as a writer by:

  • Writing for a range of contexts including different purposes and audiences
  • Practising writing throughout the school day and across all subjects
  • Develop their understanding of different types of punctuation and the impact it has on the reader
  • Expressing their own unique ideas through the texts they write
  • Choosing the words they write carefully for effect
  • Carefully organising their writing
  • Learning how to spell key words correctly in their writing
  • Practising their handwriting making sure that it is correctly formed to make sure others can read it
