In addition to the above, pupils will focus on:
Planning writing by identifying the audience for and purpose of the writing, selecting the appropriate form and using other similar writing as models for their own Continuing to distinguish between homophones and other words which are often confused
- Drafting and writing by selecting appropriate grammar and vocabulary, understanding how such choices can change and enhance meaning Writing legibly, fluently and with increasing speed
- Using relative clauses beginning with a relative pronoun (i.e., who, which, where, when, whose, that)
- Using a dictionary and a thesaurus
- Using a wide range of punctuation (i.e. including hyphens to avoid ambiguity)
