Writing

We want every child to be able to speak, write and spell confidently. By the time they leave us, children are confident communicators, ready for the next step in their education journey, and the modern world around them.

At Unity we believe talk is a crucial skill which prepares children for writing. We lead by example, using language correctly, and speaking in a ‘Unity loud and clear’ voice.

We have been using the Talk for Writing approach for many years but are now reviewing our approach to writing to maximise the engagement of children and ensure success for all.

We support children to develop good spelling, grammar and composition skills, and help children to edit their own work. All children have the chance to practise their handwriting, and develop neat, legible, joined handwriting.
