The capacity to write well is fundamental to success in school and beyond. Yet many children struggle to become proficient writers. Teaching and Assessing Writing in the Primary School provides a comprehensive guide to the theory, practice and pedagogical research behind teaching children to write. Supported by case studies and real-world examples of teaching and learning writing in the classroom, this practical book proposes a whole-school, research-informed writing framework that engages children while building their writing skills. Readers will benefit from building their knowledge of the theory and research behind learning how to write successfully, while discovering how they may apply this effectively to their classroom practice.

Firmly grounded in the theory of writing and with clear links to practical application, chapters explore:

Effective pedagogies for teaching children aged 4-12 how to write
The planned and received curriculum for writing, including a whole-school approach
Formative and summative assessment of writing in the classroom
Designing and organising a writing workshop for pupils
Practical implementation of ‘mini-lessons’ to support writing
Supporting the needs of diverse writers within our schools

Filled with strategies for teaching, this practical and engaging book will be an essential resource for anyone working within primary schools, including classroom teachers (both new and more experienced), teaching assistants, subject leaders, literacy coordinators, and senior leadership.
