Talk for Writing Across the Curriculum

How to Teach Non-Fiction Writing to 5-12 Year-Olds

2nd Edition

  Pie Corbett and Julia Strong

This bestselling resource has been fully updated, putting formative assessment at the heart of the Talk for Writing process and showing how to help children love writing across the curriculum.

By helping children speak the language of non-fiction in a fun engaging way before they attempt to write, the Talk for Writing approach builds children's confidence and linguistic ability enabling them to craft their own writing. The new edition includes:

• Fully worked, tried and tested examples of how to apply Talk for Writing to each non-fiction text type
• A wide range of fun activities helping children internalise how to express and link text effectively
• A process that co-constructs learning so that children learn how to structure text and create toolkits of key ingredients
• Guidance for teachers in England on how to apply the approach across the primary curriculum
