Writing training
"What I can say today, I can write tomorrow."
This training demonstrates how elaborate and deliberate talk inspires children to write. The trainer will explore how to teach writing by developing children’s vocabulary, building sentences orally and through role play.
Lively, creative storytelling activities will be modelled to develop children’s spoken language and awareness of character and setting.
Whole school training
Ruth Miskin has developed an exciting new writing programme to replace the existing Get Writing! lessons.
The programme includes guidance and detailed lesson plans for each RWI Phonic fiction and some non-fiction texts. Through shared and guided writing the trainer models simple sentences, complex sentences and extended compositional writing.
Assessment and marking systems are discussed on the training.
It includes:
- detailed lesson plans to use alongside the RWI Phonic Storybooks and Non-fiction books to develop children's writing skills, from simple sentences to extended writing tasks
- guidance on assessing writing
- advice on how to develop children's 'oral comprehension'
- ideas for making the most of storytimes.
