Course Details

This course is aimed at teachers and leaders in KS1 and KS2 and will explore the most challenging aspects of Literacy teaching: how to plan successful units of work, how to excel at shared writing and how to teach the editing process.

 

Planning successful fiction and non-fiction writing units can be challenging; this course will teach how to plan writing outcomes and objectives, prepare children for writing, integrate a focus on grammar and sentence structure and differentiate appropriately. The course will also introduce how to use visual literacy to inspire writing. In addition, teachers will develop their understanding of and ability to deliver outstanding shared writing across KS1 and KS2 – an essential component in raising standards in which good training is often lacking. Furthermore, the course will share models for editing, both in response to marking and as whole class sessions.

  • Development of subject knowledge at KS1 and KS2
  • A review of assessment requirements and writing objectives at KS1and KS2
