Course Description

In this training you will learn about developing fluency and automaticity during the early stages of writing.

Recent reports from Ofsted (Ofsted English Report and Ofsted English Research Review) highlight the importance of fluent transcription skills as a building blog for more complex writing challenges. During their inspections they often observe pupils’ who are being expected to complete writing tasks without the skills needed to do so.

In this webinar we explore a range of strategies and ideas aimed at putting the necessary foundations in place. This will include a focus on:

  • handwriting
  • spelling 
  • sentence writing skills.

Although primarily aimed at YR and KS1 this course may also be useful to those leading on English or who are supporting pupils who are working below age related expectations in writing in KS2.

      This course focuses on ensuring that our pupils get off to the best possible start on the journey to becoming competent and confident readers.

      Reading … feeds pupils' imagination and opens up a treasure-house of wonder and joy for curious young minds. National Curriculum Document

      Laying a good foundation for reading in Reception and KS1 is essential if pupils are going to become fluent and confident readers by the time they leave primary school. 

      This course covers the two aspects of early reading identified in the National Curriculum word level (decoding ) and comprehension. We will explore what the new inspection framework says about both of these elements and consider how we can ensure that we build a firm foundation in reading or all our pupils. During the course reference will also be made to 'The Reading Framework' document published summer 2021.

      Course Description

      Developing fluent, neat handwriting is a requirement of the national curriculum and a particular focus in many recent OFSTED inspections. This course will present a range of ideas and activities to help you to teach the art of handwriting well across Foundation Stage, Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2.  

      Handwriting plays an important part in the transcription element of writing. Ofsted's English Research review (May 2022) emphasised the importance of fluent transcription being in place by the end of lower KS2 in order for older pupils to be able to focus on the content of their writing.  

      This course will provide you with a range of ideas and activities for teaching handwriting, beginning with gross and fine motor skills and then looking at ways to develop a neat and fluent script. 

      The information will be suitable for any teachers who wish to improve the presentation skills of their pupils.

      Course Description

      In order to ensure that pupils master the patterns, rules and exceptions in our language spelling needs to be taught in a systematic, effective and engaging way. This course will help teachers to achieve that. 

      The effective teaching of spelling involves the teaching of strategies and rules, rather than just lists of words. This training explores the use of a range of spelling strategies including:

      • Ongoing application of phonics knowledge and skills
      • Learning and applying rules
      • Analogy
      • Look, say, cover, write, check
      • Using morphology

      The training also emphasises the need to revisit and build on prior learning - a key aspect of the Ofsted Inspection framework. Following the section on spelling strategies a possible teaching sequence is explored. The final part of the session focuses on marking and feedback and on assessment.

      A range of practical ideas are threaded through the course with the aim of making the teaching of spelling both effective and fun.
