ESSENTIAL Writing in Year 2: An introduction for Year 2 teacher

About this course

Has your school recently purchased (or planned to purchase) HFL ESSENTIALwriting? Are you looking for a way to teach writing which puts pupil agency at the heart? Are you passionate about high quality written outcomes for your class? Are you keen to improve your subject knowledge, pedagogy and practice? If the answer to any of these questions is ‘yes!’ then join us for this webinar to find out more about how to use our fabulous new writing scheme in year 2.

HFL ESSENTIALwriting is built on the foundations of high-quality children's literature and clear models for writing, enabling children to focus on the language choices that will underpin their ability to write effectively.  Sequences study the craft of composition, and writing outcomes are driven by a clear sense of purpose, audience and pupil agency.

Each writing unit is expertly pitched to secure foundational skills, whilst expecting high outcomes from all pupils.  Each lesson builds on the last and each unit fits into a sequential overview that gradually introduces grammar, spelling and composition skills. The units are also carefully designed to build children’s vocabulary and oracy through oral rehearsal and spoken language opportunities. The clear models, resources and suggestions for stretch and scaffold will ensure all children are supported to engage and succeed.

This short webinar will provide an overview of year 2 planning to best enable effective and swift implementation of HFL ESSENTIALwriting. You will be guided through the yearly overviews, planning structure and core year group texts. You will also ‘walk through a unit’ whilst being given top tips to ensure your children get the most out of each lesson.
