Years 1-6

Students in Years 1-6 are considered developing writers. They need consistent, repetitive practice to hone their skills.  

Each Writing lesson is divided into three exercises: ‘Write’, ‘Improve’ and ‘Edit’. Each exercise is designed to be 20 minutes in length. The purpose of the ‘Write’ exercise is to develop the grammar and punctuation of sentences. The ‘Improve’ exercise is designed to enhance sentences by adding ideas and grammatical features. The ‘Edit’ exercise revises sentences using a methodical editing strategy. Each lesson includes a partner sharing and self-reflection section.
