So important to highlight the power of creativity, giving it space in our lessons, and inspiring our pupils to take risks in their writing. #LitdriveCPD

Are pupils given time to craft and secure their knowledge - including letter formations - before they are being asked to produce a definitive outcome? #LitdriveCPD

Shaping a culture of writing is key. It's important to reframe and prioritise the process of writing rather than the end result of data etc.

Is the investment in phonics and reading for pleasure going to carry on to writing, too? #LitdriveCPD

Hannah is speaking first about igniting a love of writing. #LitdriveCPD
