A structured writing intervention for older students

Helen Walls’s handbook lays out a 10-week programme for strengthening spelling, handwriting and sentence writing among students in the middle to senior primary and lower secondary years. Its practical emphasis is on planning and daily teaching, with writing tasks built around the solar system. That topic gives students a route into sophisticated concepts and vocabulary while practising foundational skills. The book is designed for educators supporting learners who continue to find these parts of writing difficult.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teachers working with middle-to-senior primary or lower secondary students
  • Educators seeking a structured intervention for spelling, handwriting or sentence writing
  • Teachers interested in using solar-system topics for foundational writing practice

Book overview

How to Teach the Foundational Skills of Writing - Book 2 is written by highly regarded author and educator Dr Helen Walls (The Writing Teacher).

 

This teaching handbook sets out a 10-week programme to build foundational writing skills to support students who still struggle with spelling, handwriting and/or sentence writing in the middle to senior primary and lower secondary years. In setting out an evidence-based intervention programme, it provides the knowledge, planning and resources you need to teach these foundational skills effectively, every day.

 

Writing tasks provide skill-building activities on a high-interest topic (the solar system) to engage students with sophisticated concepts and vocabulary knowledge, with the result that they feel excited about writing down their ideas and begin to believe in themselves as writers again.
