A recent OFSTED report identified the fact that, while many teachers were confident about their teaching of reading, 'too many are neglecting the teaching of writing in the Literacy Hour'. This book, building on the process approach adopted by both National Literacy Strategy and National Curriculum 2000, addresses the fundamental question, 'How do you teach writing?'
/
Pam Hodson and Deborah Jones provide teachers with, practical strategies, support through a clear and concise rationale, and explicit explanation of the different stages of the writing process.
/
This theoretical perspective is the basis of differentiated writing frames provided for the classroom use of teachers and pupils alike. Thus invaluable support is given to teachers and student teachers of writing across a wide range of genres throughout Reception, Key Stages 1 and 2, and in the early secondary years.

Nelson Handwriting is the definitive handwriting programme for the whole school. This completely updated new edition provides all the tools and resources you need to ensure a consistent whole-school approach to handwriting. This Resources and Assessment Book for Starter Level provides assessment materials to help you gauge placement in the programme and progress through it. Photocopiable sheets provide extra practice in pattern development and pen control, before moving on to individual letter formation. Letters are introduced in the same order as Letters and Sounds phonics teaching, providing coverage of Phases 2-4. Capital letters and numerals are also covered.

In many schools throughout the UK children are encouraged to learn cursive letter shapes right from the start. By enabling children to start letter formation this way the transition to fully joined-up writing is much quicker. Letter shapes are shown in colour and the lead-in strokes that start on the line are in grey, so children can learn to distinguish the letter shape from the join lines.
