I often find that, rather than a misunderstanding of sentence construction being the issue, we need to teach how to proof-read and give children time to use these strategies. Sharing with a real, chosen reader at the end of the process often provides the motivation to want to do so ✍️
Something I'm hearing a lot from teachers atm is about learners being too passive in lessons. My sense is that this may well be linked to the idea of learning as 'content delivery' into children and young people's memories. If we see learning as an interaction instead that will help with engagement.
Another superb blog on writing! I so wish @writingrocks.bsky.social had been on the core panel and a key voice in the creation of the DfE Writing Framework.
