  • Imitation stage
  • Innovation stage
  • Independent application stage

Each one comes with its own steps that include prompts, practical suggestions and space for you to add your own notes.

Talk for Writing stages

Planning stage

This encourages you think about how you are using baseline assessment and how you are ensuring that you’re using the best model text/process to support progress.

Imitation stage

In this section you need to think about:

  • Warming up words and phrases
  • Introducing new content
  • Internalising the text/process

Innovation stage

This section is about helping pupils adapt the model to suit different topics or needs.

Independent application stage

This is about helping pupils show what they can do independently and consolidating learning.
