Practice Writing Skills (Ages 12+)

During these years most children will gradually become independent to: 

• Read fluently to understand content 
• Handwrite word banks and notes to collect information 
• Spell the words - or at least copy them accurately and recognise when they’re incorrect  
• Type their writing fluently into the computer
• Write excellent sentences and paragraphs to competently and confidently express ideas 

Students can then learn to write connected paragraphs to create essays, including Introductions and Conclusions. 

Most children who complete several years of Write in Colour can competently write a 1000-word essay by the end of year 10.
