At St Augustine's Primary School, we use Talk for Writing to bring our English curriculum to life through storytelling, drama, and shared writing.
Using Pie Corbett's Talk for Writing techniques, we help children become confident and creative writers. Pupils learn stories through actions and story maps, then innovate by changing characters or settings before using their new skills to inform their own writing. We use shared writing, model texts, and vocabulary games to build language skills in a fun and structured way.
This approach helps pupils become imaginative, fluent writers while fostering a love of reading and storytelling.
