This session focuses on how to support all learners to participate in writing, particularly those who find it difficult or disengage from the process. In line with current expectations around inclusive classroom practice, the session explores how writing can be made accessible through strong universal provision, rather than reliance on intervention alone.
Using principles of Universal Design for Learning, staff consider how to provide multiple ways for pupils to generate ideas, develop language and express their thinking. The session focuses on reducing barriers linked to transcription, organisation and confidence, while maintaining meaningful opportunities for creativity and communication.
Practical strategies include the use of talk-based approaches, modelling, shared writing, visual supports and alternative ways to record. Examples from classrooms show how writing can be broken down into manageable steps, with structured support that enables all learners to succeed.
Participants will leave with practical approaches that can be implemented immediately, along with ideas and resources to support ongoing development in writing across the curriculum.
