Teaching Writing Strategies is a series of six books using
modelling, guided and independent practice to teach pupils
strategies they can use to improve the clarity, correctness and
richness of their writing. The focus is on sentences, their
structure, punctuation and word choices and on developing editing
and proofreading skills and their habitual use. Teaching Writing
Strategies is a series of six books with the explicit, overarching
aim of teaching the skills and strategies required to improve the
clarity, correctness and richness of children's writing. Within the
series, children are taught to recognise, choose and use specific
strategies. The focus is on the process, rather than on practising,
in this instance, specific text types. To this end, priority is
given to improving writing at the sentence level. There is a strong
hands-on emphasis; that is, there is an expectation that the
children will write to demonstrate their knowledge and
understanding. Unlike many other writing activity books, the
desired outcome is to have the children structuring correct,
enriched sentences to more clearly convey ideas and information.
The ultimate goal is for them to produce clear, precise writing for
a specific purpose and to understand that proofreading and editing
is an integral part of the writing process. Each of the 16 units
has a page of assessment activities and an assessment writing
topic. These should be worked on independently and will: (a) give
the teacher a record of individual understanding and achievement;
and (b) highlight common points of weakness, which may require
further assistance. Teacher recording sheets, a pupil proofreading
checklist and a pupil self-evaluation sheet are provided.
