Whole School Approach
American literary expert, Berninger illustrated the process with ‘The Simple View of Writing’. In the model image on the left, he highlights three overarching processes that are essential to writing.
The model places working memory in the centre, emphasising how it plays a role in enabling each of these skills to operate. As we all know, when our brains are full, it becomes difficult to remember everything. To cope, our brains bring to the fore the information we need and other things are lost.
The EEF (Education Endowment Foundation) have produced guidance reports for improving Literacy at Key Stage 1 and 2 and make several recommendations to support this process for all our pupils-including those that are struggling.
