  1. Mowbray First SchoolEarly Years Foundation Stage Beginning Writing

  2. Emergent Writing“Early mark-making is not the same as writing. It is a sensory and physical experience for babies and toddlers, which they do not connect to forming symbols which can communicate meaning “ (Development Matters 2012) • Starting Nursery • Fine motor skills need to be developed before writing can take place (pegs, Dough gym,) • Left to right pencil movement • Over-writing on dots • Following arrows

  3. Jolly Phonics/Letters and SoundsNursery • Initial letter sounds (phonemes) following the programme –begin with hearing the sounds, practise through rhymes before linking to letters (graphemes) • LETTER/PICTURE BINGO/FEELY BAGS/STORY SACKS • ‘MARK-MAKING AREAS’ (lists, recipes, letters, writing frames) • DIFFERENT MEDIA: VARIETY OF RESOURCES, chalk on paths, water on ground • ‘Letter of the Week’ – formation with dots/arrows • Letter names and sounds – A/a verbal • Adult modelling of writing-like behaviour • Letters to communicate meaning – “sometimes gives • meaning to marks they see in different places” • Copying names and using labels to support writing

  4. Reception • “Signing –in” copying name cards at outset, then from memory, name on own work • Letter names and sounds – A/a • Jolly Phonics workbooks/Handwriting practice • Blending and segmenting sounds (phonemes) • Linking sounds to letters (graphemes) • Simple captions – ‘pat a dog’ • Handwriting practice • Whiteboards • Word mats with high frequency and ‘tricky’ words • ‘Breakthrough’/sentence starters “I can.... • Simple sentences with modelled writing of finger spaces, using lines, capital letters • All done through ‘Think Talk’ say it before you write it (a talk rich environment) • ‘School readiness – simple sentences with ‘and/but’

  5. Early Learning Goal for Writing “Children use their phonic knowledge to write words in ways which match their spoken sounds. They also write some irregular common words. They use simple sentences which can be read by themselves and others. Some words are spelt correctly and others are phonetically plausible” (Development Matters 2012)

  6. Glossary of terms for Writing Phoneme - the smallest unit of sound, which are joined to make words Grapheme – a letter to represent a sound Digraph – two letters to represent one sound e.g. ‘sh’ Trigraph – three letters to represent one sound e.g. ‘igh’ ‘cvc’ words – a word with a consonant, vowel, consonant e.g. cat High Frequency Words – common words that are frequently used in reading and writing e.g. ‘can’, ‘in’, ’it’ ‘Tricky’ High Frequency Words – words that are common but which are difficult to sound out or blend e.g. ‘the’,’was’,’you’
