Working with and developing children who show potential as greater depth writers is challenging. Teachers need to recognise them and offer appropriate opportunities and choices for them to develop as highly effective and engaging writers whilst ensuring that technical aspects of writing are secure and their use understood.
This publication takes a close look at how to recognise these children in each year group, discusses a writing sample and offers suggestions to ensure progress and deep learning. The requirements for the end of KS2 are reviewed in detail with practical suggestions and resources to meet them.
