What is Talk for Writing?
Talk for Writing is an engaging teaching framework developed by Pie Corbett, supported by Julia Strong. It is powerful because it is based on the principles of how children learn. It enables children to imitate the language they need for a particular topic orally, before reading and analysing it, and then writing their own version.Overview ResourcesTalk for Writing ResourcesAcross the Curriculum ResourcesOverview ResourcesOverview ResourcesOverview ResourcesOverview ResourcesOverview ResourcesTalk for Writing ResourcesAcross the Curriculum ResourcesOverview ResourcesTalk for Writing ResourcesAcross the Curriculum ResourcesOverview ResourcesTalk for Writing ResourcesAcross the Curriculum ResourcesOverview ResourcesTalk for Writing ResourcesAcross the Curriculum ResourcesOverview ResourcesTalk for Writing ResourcesWhat is talk for writing?
