Writing at Kingsfield
At Kingsfield, we are passionate about developing our children’s writing skills through the innovative and effective Talk for Writing approach. Our intent is to foster confident, creative, and articulate writers who can express their ideas clearly and with flair. Through this approach, we place a strong emphasis on the importance of talk and oral rehearsal as key steps in the writing process.
Talk for Writing enables children to internalise language structures, vocabulary, and story frameworks before applying them to their own writing. We believe that by encouraging children to speak, discuss, and perform ideas, we help them to develop the confidence and fluency needed to become accomplished writers.
We aim to provide a language-rich environment where children can experiment with different genres, develop their imagination, and build a deep understanding of language. Through shared reading, storytelling, and collaborative activities, our children not only develop their writing skills but also their ability to communicate effectively in all areas of life.
At Kingsfield, we are committed to ensuring every child can flourish as a writer, using their voice to tell stories, share ideas, and convey their thoughts clearly. Through the Talk for Writing approach, we nurture a love of writing that stays with our pupils long after they leave our school.
