Writing
At Woodhouse West, the teaching of writing follows a sequence of immersion, WAGOLL analysis and deconstruction, contextualised grammar teaching (which regularly includes games and text-analysis where children are encouraged to justify their own and others’ grammatical choices and the effects on the reader), shared write, drafting, reviewing, editing and re-writing.
We teach children to write across a wide range of genres and our writing lessons are taught through a text-led curriculum, making use of authentic writing and contextualised grammar choices as well as strengthening links with our wider curriculum.
