A super start with our writing skills!
The adults are very impressed with how our writing skills are developing! We always have paper and pencils available for free drawing and writing (we are sure you see lots and lots of pictures in your child's bookbag!) but we have upped our adult-led writing so that children are taking part in:
- daily handwriting sessions
- daily spelling sessions in Phonics
- guided writing sessions where we write words or captions. These are dictated, using only GPCs that they know. This is to develop confidence and sentence structure - they have to 'hold' the phrase which is much harder than it sounds!
Those of us who have got a good pencil grip and the beginnings of letter formation are spelling and writing with a pencil. Some of us are using the moveable alphabet whilst these skills develop.
Children love paper and pencils - if you haven't already, get some pads of paper and pencils!
