This essential text for primary trainees and teachers examines the
key skill of writing beyond the earliest school years. Teaching
writing involves much more than simply teaching the mechanics of
spelling, grammar and punctuation, important though these are.
There are particular issues around writing in school, including the
fact that children's writing consistently lags behind their reading
in external tests such as SATs, boys' relative lack of success and
teachers' lack of confidence in modelling writing. This book
addresses these topics as well as focusing on other pertinent
practice issues such as working with proficient writers, engaging
disengaged writers and working with children who have EAL and SEN.

This story is part of Reading Champion, a series carefully linked
to book bands to encourage independent reading skills, developed
with Dr Sue Bodman and Glen Franklin of UCL Institute of Education
(IOE). This traditional tale tells the story behind the Chinese
proverb "Draw the dragons, dot the eyes" and the eye-dotting

To master the teaching of writing at greater depth, teachers first
need to know: *What makes writing 'greater depth'? *What does it
looks like? *How do I support children to develop the skills and
creativity to be able to write at 'greater depth'? Official
guidance lacks the substance and clarity that is needed so where do
teachers go for support? This book provides teachers with support,
guidance, background theory, examples and practical advice for the
teaching of writing at greater depth. The text highlights the need
to take writing beyond transcription into creative composition -
and not only shows how this is possible, but also explores why it
matters. The second edition is updated with new questions for
discussion supporting teacher professional learning and links to
the ITT Core Content Framework for trainee teachers.

Dun Cow from Durham City and many other characters - all as

an engaging style, and richly illustrated with unique line
drawings, these humorous, clever and enchanting folk tales are sure
to be enjoyed and shared time and again.

of good classroom practice of modelling writing *Focuses on writing
in different aspects of the curriculum *Provides guidance, case

activities are included in all chapters alongside writing tasks for
