--- title: "Writing" url: "https://waterside-primary-school.schudio.com/our-inspiring-curriculum/english/writing" school: "Waterside Primary School" --- # Writing ## Writing at Waterside At Waterside, we encourage the children to become authors, crafting their own style to become fluent in writing. Our children are taught a range of genres covering both fiction and non-fiction writing styles. The writing and reading curriculum is very closely linked as we value the importance of reading to aid writing. Our children are immersed into the genres through a variety of texts, film clips, posters and books - and above all we encourage daily writing. Your child will then publish their work giving them a sense of pride in their presentation. They are encouraged to write independently for a sustained length of time using prompt mats, word mats and the working wall to help them. - Writing Overview - Writing Curriculum - Spelling - Grammar ### Writing Overview Subject on a page -
