They are given many real opportunities to write for a purpose in English and across the curriculum. During English lessons, a text or video is used to generate a purpose for writing but their skills are embedded in other subjects through a broad and balanced curriculum. Children generate ideas as a class or with their peers and effectively self-evaluate and edit their own writing following discussion and feedback. The programmes of study for writing at key stage 2 are divided into: • transcription (spelling and handwriting) • composition (articulating ideas and structuring them in speech and writing). It is essential that pupils develop competence in these two dimensions. This is our writing progression map based on the National curriculum. These skills are taught through the study of texts and films in our English lessons. It illustrates the progression of skills taught in composition, grammar & punctuation and spelling. ### English Writing Progression Map English Progression Map 562 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/wallace-fields-junior-school/files/documents/WFJS_English_writing_progression_map_2023-2024.pdf) ## How can parents help?
