Writing
At Addingham we are committed to teaching our pupils to become skilled readers and writers who develop a comprehensive understanding of words, language and texts as they move through our school. The development of language and vocabulary is central to success and the teaching of spoken language sits hand in hand with development of reading across the curriculum. We nurture children’s speaking and listening skills through a variety of approaches: exploratory play, story time, hot-seating, drama, debate and through collaborative learning approaches.
Our intent is clear from Reception and does not alter; our aim is to develop and nurture a love of reading and writing that will last a life time. We believe that through providing rich and meaningful literature experiences the children are consistently exposed to high quality models of language, grammar and vocabulary across genres. This provides the children with creative opportunities to inspire them to write, read and learn.
