Teaching Assistants play a crucial role in helping children become successful, confident writers. This training is designed to empower TAs with effective, research-informed strategies to support writing development in the classroom.
Drawing on the latest guidance from the Education Endowment Foundation (EEF), the session will provide clear, manageable approaches that can make a real difference — from encouraging reluctant writers to building sentence accuracy and independence.
By the end of the course, participants will:
Understand how writing develops and recognise common barriers
Learn how to model writing effectively and promote sentence accuracy
Use scaffolding techniques to build children’s independence
Confidently support the class teacher with shared writing
Give effective feedback and use questioning to guide progress
Join us to gain practical tools that will strengthen your support for young writers and boost their success in the classroom.
