  • Development of early mastery routines, such as:
    • Guided instruction
    • Teacher modelling
    • Scaffolding steps to independent writing
       
  • Frequent short‑burst writing leading to one extended write per unit.
     
  • Clear grammar and punctuation coverage appropriate for Year 2 expectations.
     

Skills Focus

  • Early paragraphing through sequence and organisation
  • Secure use of past/present tense
