Talk for Writing
Use story maps - using pictures and a few key
words. Encourage children to tell/ act out
their stories. Children can build upon other's
ideas and become familiar with different
structures of writing. The stories become
embedded in their memories which means their
writing can flow much more quickly without having
to pause and think of new ideas.

Spelling
It is important to note that spelling at the end
of KS2 is only accounted for in the spelling
test. Children's spellings are not assessed in
the writing task. We encourage children to use
adventurous vocabulary regardless of spelling, as
long as the spelling is plausible and used in the
correct context.
