A scaffold to support children looking at model texts and unpicking their key elements e.g. purpose, vocab/ phrases, writer techniques e.g. rhetorical questions, short sentences, personification, modal verbs, etc. This helps children build up an understanding of the intended impact of the text and how the writer creates this. From here children understand the ‘steps to success’ or ‘writer’s toolkit’ or whatever you may call it!

Spelling ladders
Teachers/ children add key words they are mis-spelling onto their ladder. This could be a focus on HFW or MFW. The children use this as a mini support/ checklist until they can spell the word correctly and then tick it off/ cross it out. Once the ladder is complete, start a new one!
