In this area you can access the range of Support for Writing materials, which have been designed to support teachers in focusing and personalising planning for progression in writing within a year and across the primary age range.

Steps in Learning

• focuses on three key Strands for writing: 9,10 and 11, which make the biggest difference to improving writing
• A short summary statement  for each strand and year outlines the aspects of progress to expect for most children in each strand within each year.
• End of year objectives are broken down into smaller ‘Steps in learning' across each year to support planning. These examples are called Steps in Learning.
  These are then exemplified with three classroom examples for each strand, in each year group, which demonstrate progression in a writing objective within a year using shared, guided and independent activities, linked to a relevant Unit of work in the PFW.

Pupil Writing Targets

• Example pupil writing targets for within year progression are provided for Strands 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11.

Text Types Guidance

• SfW also provides additional guidance on text types to inform planning for progression. This builds on previous guidance available, provides some new features and adds much more detail.
