How to Teach Writing Across the Curriculum at KS2

How to Teach Writing Across the Curriculum at Key Stage 2 provides a practical, accessible teaching sequence to help teachers of junior classes:

  • teach about the organisation and language features of the six non-fiction text types (recount, report, instruction, explanation, persuasion and discussion)
  • link non-fiction writing to pupils' work across the curriculum, so they can use content learned in other subject areas as the basis for writing in a particular text type

 

  • develop pupils' ability to organise their non-fiction writing appropriately, in terms of text-type, layout and paragraphing
  • focus on significant language features of the text-types The teaching sequence is also designed to develop pupils' appreciation of the underlying structures of non-fiction texts, thus linking the acquisition of literacy skills to "thinking skills" in general.
