HFL Primary English Teaching and Learning Adviser Amanda Webb’s wonderful article about sentence structure has been published in the latest issue of Teach Reading & Writing.  

Skip straight to the article to read why Amanda warns “if you want children to write with confidence and fluency, don’t leave their sentence structure skills to chance” 

Also take a look at the TeachCo awards supplement and you’ll find a review of our award-winning ESSENTIALWRITING curriculum on page 17. ESSENTIALWRITING won for its primary offer and ESSENTIALWRITING for Early Years was highly commended in the Early Years category.
