Planning for writing in Year 3 and Year 4

To support Year 3 and Year 4 class teachers when they make decisions about the units they are planning to teach. It asks key questions which support the planning process and offers classroom examples linked to a range of exemplar units. By considering these questions class teachers can reflect and plan effectively for writing.
- Planning for writing
  
  This section explores the planning process in more detail. It will support teachers to plan more effectively and decide which elements of their planning they would like to improve.
- Planning for Phase 1: Reading, responding and exploring; familiarisation with the text type
  
  During this phase the children need opportunities to immerse themselves in the text and consider their response to the text by exploring ideas through talk about the book, characters and plot. There are different types of prompts which teachers can use with the children to encourage the thinking process. The teacher can act as an interested listener, while the children develop the discussions within the group. At the early stages of introducing Book-talk the teacher will need to model the thought process and scaffold the learning.
- Planning for Phase 2: capturing ideas and oral rehearsal
  
  During this phase there are a range of different strategies that teachers can use - opportunities to explore and capture ideas using emotions graphs, oral rehearsal through role-play, text marking, drama strategies, use of ICT and speaking, listening and group discussions. You can find examples of how these strategies have been used in the following chapters.
- Planning for Phase 3: writing, planning a presentation
  
  During this phase the children use familiar planning strategies to plan the written outcome. The teacher uses shared writing to model the writing process. The children are given the opportunity to evaluate the effectiveness of their writing against agreed success criteria either individually or with a partner (self- and peer-assessment). Finally, the children present their writing, where possible to the intended audience.
- Planning for guided writing
  
  Support for class teachers to reflect on the current provision for guided writing, where it is taught within the teaching sequence and the possible next steps to develop guided practice in their classrooms.
