Writing

At Springmead, we use the Talk For Writing approach to teach writing. 

What is Talk for Writing?

Talk for Writing is an engaging teaching framework based on the principles of how children learn. It enables children to imitate the language they need for a particular topic orally, before reading and analysing it, and then writing their own version. For more information, click here.
