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.
